Abstract:

We live in a time of global warming. Global temperatures are rising almost every year as a result of climate change. In such a world, it is not hard to imagine that global cooling systems are more efficient than at any other time in human history. From our homes to our workplaces, from leisure centers to medical or laboratory purposes, it has become almost necessary for a person to be ventilated only for a variety of needs. We all know that air-conditioner use is very high during the summer and is followed by a small amount of reduced use during the rainy season. We also know that most air conditioning systems have an outlet for wastewater from machinery. The moisture present in the air when it comes in contact with the AC evaporator coil, turns into the water and will discharge from the system by passage. It means that AC in the coastal region, due to the high humidity in the air, will produce more polluted water than in the dry zone. It is therefore not uncommon to find people in many coastal areas reusing extruded water for other purposes such as flowering plants, washing dishes, etc. Cooling systems can work in both air conditioning and water cooling systems. Since it is very stable and has air-conditioning strategies, we often see air-conditioners installed as cooling methods unlike water cooling systems. Therefore in such 'tropical' countries, any efforts to increase AC efficiency will be welcomed. One way to achieve this goal is to provide a hybrid Cooling AC using the water it emits. In doing so, this test aims to reduce energy compensation and increase efficiency of the system. If successful, the whole project will help save energy and resources for the next generation. Global demand for Air conditioners will increase from 1.2 billion units today to 4.5 billion units by 2050. On an average, in India around six thousand trains use 7 to 15 tons of air conditioners every day. Thousands of liters of water that is being generated from the air conditioners is put to no use and let to be wasted, if we use that water to increase the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle we can reduce energy consumption. That will be for the benefit of future generations. With so much research going on around the world to make cooling systems more environmentally friendly, this small step is likely to change the future of ACs
