Polymer Hollow Spiral Evaporative Cooling System with Peltier Effect Technology to Reduce the Health Risk
Abstract
Global warming and changes in climate have led to distinctive environmental problems due to Energy consumption activities enhanced by a human. In hot and coastal areas, the primary reason for power consumption comes from the cooling of many hospitals, residential and commercial homes. The warmth depth and prolongation of the daylight hours in hot areas have a right away dating with the use of cooling systems, together with the cooling system airborne particles such as dust, pollen, animal dander, harmful bacteria, and cockroach allergens; which may cause allergies, inconvenience and in case of chronic lung diseases. This paper describes the study and performance of Polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fibers used as a spiral shape material for the evaporative cooling process so as for decreasing the power utilization causes due to cooling loads. The paper describes a study on the purification of air to remove the dust and all allergenic particles and used Peltier effect technology to adjust the human comfort temperature as per the need of the hospital. A small lab setup for experimental study which concludes that the Evaporation rate is 8.22%. The efficiency of Evaporative cooling system is found to be 72.43%., and the COP of the system is 0.456.
