Cooling Concepts: Alternatives to Air Conditioning for a Warm World

Pearl Academy in Jaipur, India, features a sunken pool, inspired by traditional Rajasthani architecture, that takes advantage of the thermal-regulating properties of the ground.

Passive Energy Air-to-Water Heat Pipe Based Heat Exchanger and its Potential of Air Pre-cooling in Air Conditioning Systems for Iran Climate

Air pre-cooling equipment is normally being employed in air-conditioning systems for pre-cooling the ambient outdoor air to enhance the air-conditioning systems performance. In this study, the potential of a passive water-to-air heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHEX) for air pre-cooling purpose in air-conditioning systems for the high cooling load demanding regions of Iran was investigated. To ...

Application of Phase Change Material (PCM) for Cooling Load Reduction in Lightweight and Heavyweight Buildings: Case Study of a High Cooling Load Region of Iran

The application of phase change material (PCM) for energy conservation purposes in the residential buildings was investigated in the present study. Two types of building in terms of materials as the lightweight building (LWB) and heavyweight building (HWB) located in a high cooling load demanding region of Iran were considered for the study. Different types of PCM from organic and inorganic cat...

Temperature Control of Solar Air Conditioning Systems

This thesis investigates the problem of regulating the temperature of a conditioned space using a Solar Assisted Air Conditioning Systems (SAACS) prototype located at Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. The SAACS Prototype consists of a 66 flat plate solar collector array with 115.4 m 2 of selective surface area, a 35 kW single-effect lithium-bromide absorption chiller, a 84 kW cooling tower, a 50 kW auxil...
