MULTI-UTILITY HYBRID

COOLER

-Prasad G. Chopade
 INTRODUCTION

• MULTI-UTILITY HYBRID COOLER as the name suggest that

it is the modification of the conventional cooler.
• It is the Air Conditioner cum refrigerator for people who
cannot afford costly equipments like air conditioner,
refrigerator and other such appliances.
• It cools the air more than the conventional Desert cooler.
• It also provides cold pure water for drinking purpose
comparatively at low cost than Refrigerator with the help of
Radiator.
• It consists of storage space for perishable goods.
COMPONENTS

Conventional Cooler Storage Box and Puff Copper Tubes

Water tanks Radiator PVC Pipes

DESCRIPTION OF ASSEMBLY
The assembly consists of following components:
o Cooler assembled with storage box.
o Simple small size water tanks.
o One big size tank.
o Connecting tubes of copper.
o Perforated PVC pipes for trickling of water on aspen
pads.
o Radiator in front of fan.
o Storage box sealed by insulating material. All this is as
shown in fig.

 WORKING

• Based on the working principle of

evaporative cooling.

• Cooling of water through radiator.

• Cooling of perishable goods.

1) Cooler works on principle of evaporative cooling
as shown in fig.
2) Working of radiator for water cooling
• From upper tank water enters copper
tubes and by gravity, it flows through
that tubes.
• Water inside cu-tubes loses
temperature as water is trickled
through PVC pipes as it is connected
near to the aspen pads .
• From there, it is taken inside the
radiator where further more heat is
lost and we get cold water.
• Through the fins of radiator, air from
cooler also cools down water more.
3) Cooling of perishable goods
• Here we are going to make small holes at the
bottom of the storage box and walls of the box is
sealed with insulating material.
• Through that holes air is going to come inside the
storage box and there by it cools the perishable
goods kept inside it.
• The insulation helps to prevent the loss of heat i.e.
maintains the low temperature inside the box.
COST ANALYSIS
This is the estimated cost of our project.

PARTS COST
Radiator 2200/-
Accessories (Copper tube, tanks 4999/-
etc.)
Fabrication and machining 540/-

Miscellaneous Charges 1050/-

Total Cost = Rs 8789/-

RESULT ANALYSIS
• 1) Ambient temperature= 28oC
• 2) Temp. Of water storage tank = 23.1oC
• 3) Temp. Of drinking water at outlet= 17.7oC
• 4) Temp. Of cooled air =17.3oC
• 5) Temp. Inside the perishable storage box=17oC
• 6) Temp difference of air = 28oc-17.3oc = 10.7oC
• 7) Temp difference of water 23.1oC- 17.3oC=5.3oC
• 8)Temp difference of storage box = 11oC
ADVANTAGES

• Multi-functional.
• Economical.
• Less power consumption.
• Low running cost.
• Eco-friendly.
• No green house gas production.
