Evaporative Cooling System Using Multiple Cooling Pads (Coconut, Jute & Honeycomb) Air Cooler

Evaporative Cooling System Using Multiple Cooling Pads (Coconut, Jute & Honeycomb)

This project demonstrates an Evaporative Cooling System designed using multiple natural and synthetic cooling pads, namely Coconut Fiber Pad, Jute Pad, and Honeycomb Pad, to achieve improved cooling efficiency in an eco-friendly and cost-effective manner.

The system operates on the principle of evaporative cooling, where hot ambient air is drawn through water-soaked cooling pads. As the air passes through these pads, water evaporates by absorbing heat from the air, thereby reducing its temperature. The cooled air is then delivered to the output chamber, providing a cooling effect without the use of harmful refrigerants.

Cooling Pad Configuration

• Coconut Fiber Pad: Provides high water retention and durability.

• Jute Pad: Acts as a natural, biodegradable medium with good airflow.

• Honeycomb Pad: Ensures uniform air distribution and maximum surface area for evaporation.

Using multiple cooling pads in series increases the contact time between air and water, resulting in greater temperature drop compared to conventional single-pad air coolers.
