Water-recycling desert cooler Air ventilation and cooling Nadav Arad Ruslan Moger José Rocha Jana Wolf
Thermal comfort diagram Temp. in °C Comfort zone (with air circulation) Relative Humidity in %
PROBLEM How can we reduce the amount of water consumed by the desert cooler?
* Using electrical energy **Using solar energy
Heat lost from the peltier system? What is the rate of the condensation of water? To what extent can the water be re-circulated? ?
CONCLUSION Ventilation cannot be separated from conditioning Air conditioning accounts for high power consumption and, therefore, money spending Energy efficiency can be achieved by reducing AC usage Desert coolers provide with an alternative to such systems Water loss issue associated to desert coolers can be adressed by platier thermoelectric technology However, further research is requeried on the subject.
