DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF DIYAIRCOOLER BY USING COPPER TUBE

ABSTRACT

Human always tries for better comfort and sophistication at each level of his life. Considering air conditioning, evaporative cooler are used in less humidity and dry climate. The limitation of evaporative cooler is that it is not suitable in humid environment and also their performance is poor in the places where ventilation is not proper. The objective of this project is to increase the cooling effect of the ordinary table fan by using simple mechanism of copper tube and pump also overcome the limitation of evaporative cooler.

In this project infront of the the table fan is wound with copper tube. Which contain water for reducing the temp of air. Vinyl tube is connected with one end of the copper tube and another end of vinyl tube is connected with pump. Pump immersed in the cooling chamber. Fan and pump operated by electric power. Pump is used to sucks the cool water from the cooling chamber to circulate through the copper tube to setting cool air.
