Abstract

Evaporative coolers are used to keep a space cool. A vapor compression refrigeration system, often referred to as an air conditioner (AC), or an evaporation cooler are the two methods for cooling a space. Although the air conditioner is much superior to the evaporative cooler in terms of cooling a portion, it has very high initial and ongoing expenses, as well as being hazardous to the environment. So, in a nation like India, where the cost of any household appliance plays a significant part in deciding whether to purchase a product, having a better cost alternative is critical. As a result, evaporative coolers are the most cost-effective choice on the market. The current work addresses these issues and suggests that Modular Cooling Pads be used as an alternate cooling solution. The work has resulted in decreased maintenance and operational costs without sacrificing comfort. This article discusses the design and performance of revolutionary non-cellulosic evaporative cooling pads made from galvanized metal sheets. Solid works and ANSYS were used to design the cooler, which uses modular cooling pads as an evaporative medium. The results of the analysis in ANSYS Fluent show a temperature drop of 13 °C from the ambient state.
