Application of Evaporative Condenser in Energy Saving and Performance Improvement of Domestic Air Conditioner: A Review

Abstract

An environmentally friendly and energy efficient method for cooling buildings in hot and dry region is Evaporative cooling. India as a multi-climates country demands a variety of cooling systems to achieve optimized energy consumption, reduce emission, and provide summer comfort condition. Many types of natural and passive methods were used for cooling buildings in traditional architecture. All of these methods have been worked based on natural ventilation. A lot of energy is consumed in operation of air conditioner using air cooled condenser as well as lot of water is wasted in water cooled condensers. So with the help of evaporative condenser, performance of refrigerating system can be increased as well as it reduces the requirement of water. With the use of evaporative condensers COP of the system can be enhanced and power consumption can be reduced.
