Abstract

The extensive effort has made to fabricate and analyze the evaporative cooler with liquid-desiccant regeneration process. A temperature drop of around 4 degrees and a humidity reduction of around 14-16 percent as compared to direct contact evaporative cooler achieved. The enhanced average cooling efficiency of the evaporative cooler is41.828 % achieved with Average dehumidification capacity obtained at different concentrations of desiccantare: At 20% concentration of desiccant = 4.3695 lph, At 30% concentration of desiccant = 5.4845 lph, At 40% concentration of desiccant = 6.391 lph
