Normal desert cooler works on the process of evaporative cooling and as a result moisture content of the air is increased. A normal desert cooler in the time of monsoon & in humid regions are not very effective. So, aim is to develop an air cooler which doesn’t humidify the air and cools it sensibly and hence can be used during the monsoon season as well. This is a type of dual mode cooler which can Work Both As A Normal Desert Cooler And Can Be Switched To Non-humidifying whenever needed like in monsoon season or rainy days. In this mode, the water is made to pass through the tubes and water does not come in direct contact with the air and therefore no water is added into the air. It is found from the experiment a decrease of around 3-4 (°C) in room temperature. However this cooling effectiveness is a little lower than the conventional desert cooler. But the positive is that this cooling is without a significant increase in the humidity level of the air .This cooling can further be increased by using a material of higher thermal conductivity and also by increasing the area covered by the tubes.
