2. INTRODUCTION:
๏ In summer and humid conditions, the human body feels uncomfortable because of
hot weather and heavy humidity.
๏ So, it is necessary to maintain thermal comfort conditions.
๏ Thermal comfort is determined by the departmentโs temperature, humidity and air
changes.
๏ To overcome these conditions, air cooling system is used.
๏ There is a lot of power consumption because of the continuous usage of the
system.
๏ There is only one thing which can come up with all these problems i.e. solar energy.

15. OBJECTIVE:
๏ The objective of the system is to do power saving by using the solar
panels to run the system.
๏ The second objective of the system is to reduce the costing of the various
components like panels, tank, ducts and grills.
๏ Reducing the costing of the components by replacing them with the FRP
(Fiber Reinforced Plastic).
๏ The third objective is to increase the durability, the durability is increased
by using the Fiber because the water doesnโt affects the fiber very much,
hence increasing the life of the system.
16. RESEARCH GAPS:
๏ Due to the continuous usage of the system, the power consumption is very high and
due to that the electricity bill is very high.
๏ Due to the use of gases, the ozone layer is depleting due to the emission of CO2.
๏ The system costing is very high due to the use of heavy metals and various other
things.
๏ The durability of the system is reduced due to the continuous flow of water which
comes in contact with the metal.
๏ Due to the contact of the water and metal, after a certain period of time, the metal body
of the system starts to get corroded.
๏ The body of the system is made up of panels. Panels are made up of SS304 from
inside and Powder Coated from outside and in between the liquid puff is injected in the
panel which solidifies and gives strength to the panel.
๏ Due to this process the costing of the panel is very high as the components used in it
are very costly.
๏ Some industries use ready made panels which are cheaper but are not durable.
19. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT:
๏ Firstly, there is an air filter which does not allow the dust particles to pass and purifies
the air and then it is passed in the system due to the suction created from the blower.
๏ After that the air is passed from the cellulose pad.
๏ There is a pipe in the top of the cellulose pad in which there are multiple holes and is
connected to a water pump.
๏ There is a tank in the bottom of the cellulose pad and the other end of the pump is
connected to the tank.
๏ Continuous flow of water is there above the cellulose pad.
๏ When the hot air is passed from the cellulose pad, it gets cooled and is passed to the
blower.
๏ The air flow rate is very high and to avoid motor damage, there is an eliminator,
which eliminates water to prevent motor from damaging.
๏ Then the cooled air is passed in the department with the help of a centrifugal blower
which is connected to the duct.
