In India energy demands are expected to be more than double by 2030, and there is a pressing need to develop ways to conserve energy for future generations. Thus energy consumption can be reduced drastically by using energy efficient appliances. In India, the Union Ministry of power's research pointed out that about 20-25% of the total electricity utilized in government buildings in India is wasted due to unproductive design, resulting in an annual energy related financial loss of about Rs 1.5 billion. Conventional Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems (HVAC) consume approximately 50% of the building energy. This type of air conditioning is therefore neither eco-friendly or sustainable. Selection of proper air conditioning system for buildings can not only help the country to save electrical energy but also reduce green house emissions. As renewable energies become a growing part of the energy, the focus is being put on increased performance and efficiency of proven sources such as horizontal axis air coolers. Generally air coolers are predominantly horizontal-axis, three-bladed with a fixed blade design. The domestic air coolers, which are cost effective, play a positive role in providing human comfort during hot weather. However the performance is dissatisfactory in the high humid regions. This project paves a way to investigate the performance of air cooler integrated by eliminating the problem of rise in humidity that usually encountered in the conventional air cooler. The objective of the present invention is to provide cooled air to maintain the room temperature according to the requirement. This paper presents a simplified analysis model for Cooling Effect of 360 degree Air Cooler for Vertical Axis to make computation tractable with better performance and efficiency by varying speed, number of blades and energy utilization and comparing suitable for cooling effect over a site-specific air cooling distribution.
