Comparative study of silicon dioxide and kaolinite ratio for temperature and humidity variations of earth energy enabled cooling system and traditional cooler

Abstract

The earth energy enabled (EEE) cooling system is designed in order to utilise the heat capacity of the earth effectively. For buildings, the EEE cooling systems are an effective passive heating and cooling medium. All countries opt for different types of solutions in order to decrease the consumption of residential building energy. In light of this, a new device called earth-air heat exchanger is under the development stage for achieving the increased efficiency and hence the improvement in economic competitiveness. This paper presents the comparative studies of silicon dioxide and kaolinite ratio for temperature and humidity variations of EEE cooling system and traditional cooler with some modifications in order to explore some new aspects by using water in place of air and the basic cooling principle of a simple cooler or cooling tower for cooling in summer season. A comparison of cooling effect produced by the traditional cooler and the EEE cooling system for different conditions has also been made. Results show that proposed EEE cooling system is much more efficient than the traditional cooler. It is shown that the EEE cooling systems are realistic approach towards energy consumption. They are the future of heating–cooling technologies.
