Abstract

This review presents a detailed case study on evaporative coolers, a widely-used technology for air conditioning in hot and dry climates. It is also known as swamp cooler. Evaporative cooling, an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional refrigeration-based cooling systems, operates on the principle of water evaporation to reduce air temperature. The paper critically examines various aspects of 360-degree evaporative coolers, including their working principles, types, efficiency, and environmental impact. The case study explores a specific application of evaporative coolers in an industrial or residential setting, analysing performance data under different environmental conditions. Key performance metrics such as cooling efficiency, water consumption, and energy savings are discussed in comparison to conventional air conditioning systems. Additionally, factors like the local climate, water quality, and maintenance requirements are evaluated for their impact on the cooler's performance. This review also addresses common challenges faced by evaporative coolers, such as humidity limitations and scaling issues. By drawing insights from the case study, the paper provides recommendations for optimizing evaporative cooling systems for enhanced performance and sustainability. The findings suggest that, while evaporative coolers are a viable solution for specific climates, their application must be carefully tailored to maximize benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks.
