DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF WATER COOLED REFRIGERATOR

SYNOPSIS

Air-conditioning plays an essential role in ensuring occupants thermal

comfort. However, building’s electricity bills have become unaffordable. Yet

the commercially dominant cooling systems are intensively power-consuming

ones, i.e. vapour compression systems. This paper aims to review the recent

developments concerning evaporative cooling technologies that could

potentially provide sufficient cooling comfort. An extensive literature review

has been conducted and mapped out the state-of-the-art evaporative cooling

systems. The review covers direct evaporative cooling, indirect evaporative

cooling and combined direct-indirect cooling systems. The indirect evaporative

coolers include both wet-bulb temperature evaporative coolers and dew point

evaporative coolers have been of particular interest because of high thermal

performance. The dew point evaporative coolers have shown great potential of

development and research opportunity for their improved efficiency and low

energy use.
MERITS
