Abstract
Evaporative cooling is a heat and mass transfer process, that uses water evaporation for air cooling, in which large amount of heat is transferred from air to water, and consequently the air temperature decreases. The project deals with the design and development of low cost mud pot air coolers, which is a type of Active direct evaporative cooling system, with good efficiency. The aim is to achieve better Cooling and make the product easily available to different sections of society at lower cost, as the materials used in the product are mud pots, aspen wood wool or coconut fiber made evaporative cooling pads. A theoretical model was developed on python to simulate the results related to the effectiveness of the design. The product is very low cost as compared to the conventional room coolers, because of use of mud pot and cost of manufacturing of mud pot is low at the same time, if this product is made available on large scale can create lot of job opportunities for regions like rural India
