DESERT AIR COOLER TEST RIG-

DESERT AIR COOLER TEST RIG

A Desert Cooler works on the principle of "Evaporative Cooling", which is one of the earliest methods of conditioning of houses. It is a process of adiabatic saturation of air when a spray of water is made to evaporate into it without transfer of heat from or to the surroundings. The initial investment cost of such a system is low and its operation is simple and economical as compared to refrigerated air conditioning system.
