Experimental investigation of humidification-dehumidification desalination system
Abstract: The aim of present study is to investigate an H-DH desalination system experimentally. The system consists of a solar air heater, a humidifier, and a dehumidifier connected with an evaporative cooler. The proposed system is operated in a closed loop configuration, at two airflow rates. The performance metrics are assessed via the examination of energy and economic factors. The solar air heater has the ability to produce hot air with …

A Review on Modified Air Cooler with De-humidification
Abstract: The desert cooler is based on working principal of direct evaporative cooling system. So, when the desert cooler is used, air is cool with high humidity or moisture content, so because of that it is used only at dry places, and it is the big limitation of the desert cooler. To remove this limitation, we modified the working and structure of the air cooler. The modified air cooler works based …

Design and Development of Compact Humidifiers for Bench-top Chambers
Abstract: All products which are used in daily life have to serve in different climatic condition globally such as temperature, rain, humidity, etc. Hence, the products have to be tested under these conditions with the help of climatic chambers. There is a demand for a smaller version of climatic chambers called as bench-top chambers. Bench-top chambers require a compact humidifier, which can work on all humidity requirements set by the user. …

Indoor Room Air Conditioning Using External Enclosure
Abstract: This paper presents a new air conditioning system using an external air chamber enclosure. The system is based on evaporative refrigeration technique humidifying hot air from the environment by means of a new design humidifier. Temperature at the air chamber is set up according to the required comfort conditions. The air chamber plays the role of a heat collector from indoor room radiative energy. This new system avoids thermal gradient …

A Novel Evaporative Cooling Technology for Mushroom Farming
Abstract: Mushroom cultivation in India growing gradually as an alternative source of income. The major problem faced by mushroom cultivator is maintaining specific environment (Relative humidity and temperature). Different verities of mushrooms required different environmental conditions. Hence, this project focuses on developing environmental conditions in small polyhouse to grow mushrooms throughout the year. The concept of evaporative cooling is utilized to maintain the approximate relative humidity 75% and temperature 25°C for …
