摘要：In today'sessential commodities, air conditioning system is one of the major energy consumingelements. Nowadays evaporative cooling systems are mostly preferred as an alternative to compressor based airconditioned systems. It is reported that evaporative cooling s ystems consume 60 70 % less energy compared tocompressor based air conditioning systems. In this paper, performance analysis of a mist evaporative cooler iscarried out experimentally. The performance parameters such as, drop in temperature, cooling cap acity,saturation efficiency, the coefficient of performance are evaluated with respect to various ambient conditions andwith a varied mass flow rate of air. Experimental data used to develop an empirical correlation to predict thetemperature of cooled a ir by linear regression analysis. Predicted temperature of cooled air temperature byempirical correlation is validated through experimentation, and are good in agreement with experimental values.
