Abstract
In this paper, the process of design, manufacturing, and performance analysis of a simple yet innovative solar evaporative cooler is illustrated. This investigation aims to evaluate the performance of a very small cooler with minimum energy consumption (10 W). A solar evaporative cooler was made out of various simple electrical and mechanical components. The cooler was tested in a specified room with the volume of 510 × 310 × 320 cm3. In order to evaluate the performance of the cooler, the air temperatures at different locations in the room was measured and compared during five consecutive days. The results showed that the performance of the cooler is relatively reasonable during the summer. However, its performance can be improved using high-performance cooling pads and solar panels. This simple evaporative cooler benefits from the ease of manufacturing process, cost effectiveness, and high portability.
