Introduction
Evaporative cooling:- the function of an evaporator is to absorb heat from the
surrounding location
or medium which is to be means of a refrigerant.
The temperature of the boiling refrigerant in the evaporator must always be less than
that of the
surrounding medium so that the heat flows to the refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant
from the
expansion valve enters into the evaporator which it boils and changes into vapour.
Evaporative cooling is a natural phenomenon that occurs when moving air passes over a
wetted
medium or water source, i.e. fountain, river, sea, shower, etc.
The human body uses evaporative cooling through sweating to maintain a constant body
temperature .
Aim and Objectives
To explore the principles,
techniques, and effectiveness of
evaporative cooling methods used
in traditional Indian architecture,
and understand their relevance for
sustainable.
What is evaporative cooling
Evaporative cooling is a natural
and energy-efficient way to cool
air by using water evaporation to
absorb heat from the air
Principles of evaporative cooling
Evaporative cooling is based on the principle that
water absorbs heat when it is changes from liquid to
vapors
What is the process of evaporative cooling system?
The evaporative cooling system hot outside air is forced
through wet cooling pads by means of a motor driven fan.
The cooling pads are moisture continuously by a water pump
that delivers water to cooling pads .The cooled down air in
then blown in to the building.
Mathematics Equation
The equation for evaporative cooling
ŋ=(ƟB-ƟA)/(ƟA-Ɵwb)
Where
ƟA= Is inlet air dry –bulb temperature
ƟB= Is the outlet air dry –bulb
temperature
Ɵwb= Is the air west –bulb temperature.
Soil characteristics
Soil characteristics - color, texture,
odor - are important to understand
for anyone who works in agriculture
or horticulture. Gardeners, for
example, must develop a basic
understanding of what soil is and
how to manage the fertility of their
soils in order to successfully grow
crops and ornamental plants.

Advantages
•Less expensive to install and operate.
•Substantially lower operating and power costs. Energy savings
can be as high as 75%.Lower maintenance costs.
•Ensures a very good ventilation due to the large air flow rates
involved, hence, are very good especially in 100% outdoor air
applications, Better air distribution in the conditioned space due
to higher flow rates.
• no harmful chemicals are used for Evaporative cooling
increases humidity. In dry climates, this may improve comfort
and decrease static electricity problems.
Disadvantages
Most evaporative coolers are unable to lower the air
temperature as much as refrigerated air conditioning can.
High humidity conditions decrease the cooling capability of
the evaporative cooler.
Evaporative coolers require a constant supply of water to
wet the pads
Since the required air flow rates are much larger, this may
create draft and high noise levels in the conditioned space.
Precise control of temperature and humidity in the
conditioned space is not possible.
May lead to health problems due to micro-organisms if the
water used is not clean or the wetted surfaces are not
maintained properly.
