Project Research
GROUP: I AM PROVISE
Introduction
This research project is beneficial to everyone in our country because it can
assist us in accumulating our own electricity bill, especially as summer gets
closer. Our project is based on Jessica Dahlkvist's theory of development
and optimization of a portable air conditioner, so we devised a way to
improve air conditioners that would benefit everyone. Since we are all
familiar with the air conditioner, it is one of the most useful items that we
use every day or night, especially during the summer season, because it
provides cold air inside your home or enclosed space by removing heat and
humidity from the indoor air. That is why air conditioners are so useful,
but they consume a lot of electricity and can result in a high monthly bill.
To deal with this problem, we decided to research ways to improve air
conditioning, which would make our lives easier and reduce the amount of
money we would have to pay on a monthly basis. It is advantageous to
anyone who does not want to be suffer to hot temperatures, and it is also
cost-effective and requires less monthly payment.

World is always trying to invent new one. Somebody tries to find new one and tries to modify an ordinary one to
implement a technology. Energy plays an important role in the material, social and cultural life of mankind. This is the
result of population growth and increase in the standard of living which is directly proportional to energy consumption.
In practice air conditioner and air cooler are widely used in the world. These electrical devices consumed more electrical
power and it is not benefit for the poor people. In practice power shortage is also occurred. These problems are rectified
by modification of ordinary table fan. In summer season, the ordinary table fan gives small amount of cold air in the
room. So the table fan is modified by using copper tube and Special design Cooling Chamber. In this project the cooling
of air by using cold water or any other refrigerant which is circulated in the copper tube for the purpose of reducing the
heat in the surrounding environment is of great importance in widely distributed villages with little or no rural
electrification and also in the urban areas where power shortage is often in practice. In this project the ice cooler
chamber for storing the cold water or cold ice bars or ice cubes which whose temperature decrease as time passes. This
cold water or refrigerant is circulated through the copper tube with help aquarium pump which kept water cold for long
times. The fan blowing against the copper tube which gives more cooling air in the surroundings. refrigerant like water
or glycol whose temperature decreases as time passes. This refrigerant passes into the copper coil which wounded on the
front panel of the Exhaust fan with help of Aquarium pump .In this process the air coming from the exhaust fan passes
on the surface of copper coil .The heat transfer takes place from low temperature to high temperature that is copper coil
absorb the heat from air and given to the refrigerant which is flowing in the coil .After that the heated refrigerant
collected in the Cooling Chamber and recalculated in the coil. The specification of cooling chamber is that the
temperature of refrigerant decreases with help of clay pots ans sand. The special sand is used that is 48 LB patio leveling
sand whose property is the decrease the temperature as time passes.

Air conditioner is a device for cooling and controlling the humidity and purity ofthe air
circulating in a [Link] day time is starting to become more and more unbearable, as fans
would onlyconstantly stir the hot sticky air around, so the researchers ended up in choosing
thistopic. The researchers chose this topic mainly because of the hot weather here in
thePhilippines especially here in Caloocan City that has an average temperature of twentynine
point ninety five degrees Celsius (29.95 ºC). The constant high temperature was themain reason
this came up to the researchers’ minds . This particular design is a low-maintenance version that
requires no water drainage. The materials needed to conduct the product were also cheap and
not easy to find, which was very sufficient for people to make. OBJECTIVES The objective of the
improvised air conditioner is to help people to make the weatherlittle more bearable. Not only
that, but it aims to substitute a high class and expensive airconditioner to make it affordable,
easy to make, rather effective, portable and [Link] purpose of the project is to provide a
cool air without consuming a lot of [Link] the same time, it may help the users to cool
their drinks while using it. In addition, theresearchers intend to identify which voltage can give
the lowest temperature, slowestmelting time, the highest percentage of relative humidity and
what is best to use.

Air cooler is one of the many house hold appliances which is used to keep the surrounding
atmosphere cool and comfortable. The reason for designing Air Cooler for urban is to
eliminate any hindrance by cost factor and concentrate for complete functionality and
customer satisfaction. The product should be operable as per urban needs, lifestyle and
meet the functionality criterions of present Air coolers. Cooling methods for industrial
applications like spot cooling, ultrasonic cooling have greatly developed under quality
engineering solutions, which industries get. This paper tries to improvise on the existing
technology of cooling air by evaporation using a different mechanism to accomplish the
same. The mechanism employed is mist cooling of air which is already implemented in
various industrial applications. This mechanism and technology is thus miniaturized and
optimized for Air Cooler. QFD and PDS are prepared based on the data collected. Concepts
are generated according to the PDS, Voice of customers and initial design objectives. A
working model of the final concept prototype is made using plywood and carpentry tools.
The prototype is tested and validated with recorded videography. The product is successful
in reflecting concerns pertaining to voice of customers and initial design parameters.

Many people seek `for ways to cool themselves or cool up an area where they stay
in. Refrigerators and freezers were to cool down our beverages and to freeze our
ice cream and fruit salad. In order to maintain the cold temperature of beverages,
we always bring a pack of ice and put it to the cooler which is made from a
styrofoam or hard plastic. Air conditioning units make our houses cool and
comfortable for our family, friends and your love ones. They are also use in other
establishments such as business establishments, hospitals and medical centers,
classrooms in a school campus and others. In the absence of air conditioning
units, we have the reliable electric fans, DC – operated or AC – operated. Based
on the study “Homemade Air Conditioning,” the air conditioning unit is
constructed with an electric fan attached with a coiled copper tube at the front
and the ends of the copper tube are connected to the ice. The researchers decided
to develop another in which a cooler and an electric fan are combined.

At present, air conditioning (AC) is the most effective means for the cooling of indoor space.
However, its increased global use is problematic for various reasons. This paper explores the
challenges linked to increased AC use and discusses more sustainable alternatives. A literature
review was conducted applying a transdisciplinary approach. It was further complemented by
examples from cities in hot climates. To analyse the findings, an analytical framework was developed
which considers four societal levels—individual, community, city, and national. The main challenges
identified from the literature review are as follows: environmental, organisational, socio-economical,
biophysical and behavioural. The paper also identifies several measures that could be taken to
reduce the fast growth of AC use. However, due to the complex nature of the problem, there is no
single solution to provide sustainable cooling. Alternative solutions were categorised in three broad
categories: climate-sensitive urban planning and building design, alternative cooling technologies,
and climate-sensitive attitudes and behaviour. The main findings concern the problems arising from
leaving the responsibility to come up with cooling solutions entirely to the individual, and how
different societal levels can work towards more sustainable cooling options. It is concluded that
there is a need for a more holistic view both when it comes to combining various solutions as well as
involving various levels in society.

Air cooler is a device use to freshen ourselves. An air cooler can function
either with the presence of ice or in the unit itself. Popli (2014) added that
air or water cooled heat exchanger are typically utilized as condensers or
coolers for air-conditioning. However, air cooled heat exchanger
performance degrades considerably with rise in surroundings air
temperature and water cooled coolers that requires considerable pumping
power, a cooling tower that would consume a significant amount of water
which comes from fresh water sources. The evaporative cooling offers a
unique solution to this problem, where a small amount of wetting water
evaporates on surface to boost performance in high ambient air
temperature conditions.
