Direct evaporative cooling is widely known for being an energy efficient air conditioning
solution for arid and/or semi-arid climates. Commercialized evaporative cooling pads vary in …

Evaporative cooling has a major role to play in fighting climate change and in achieving a
low‐carbon economy. As it helps to reduce energy demand for air conditioning, it is gaining …

Using a hybrid approach of Taguchi's method and genetic algorithm, an optimization study
was carried out to improve the electrical and thermal efficiencies of a photovoltaic thermal …

Over the past decades there has been a strong evidence of a temperature rise across the
world that has led to a growing concern of more extreme weather patterns and regular …

Evaporative cooling pads are clean media for cost-effective temperature management.

The internal rearing environment of livestock houses has become an important issue in the
last few years due to the rapid increase in meat consumption. As the number of days of heat …

The air conditioning (AC) system is the primary building end-use contributor to the peak
demand for energy. The energy consumed by this system has grown as fast as it has in the …

In this study, saturation efficiency and pressure drop, two critical parameters for the direct
evaporative cooling phenomenon, were numerically investigated and optimized. For this …

Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed to study the impact of four pads
in series on the thermal performance of an economical evaporative air cooler that works at a …

Aside from climatic parameters, the cooling potential of a desert cooler is influenced by fan
flow rate, pad thickness, and pad packing factor, all of which are referred to as cooler …
