Principles of air coolers
Air coolers operate through the principle of
evaporation. It uses a simple air moving technique
that pulls fresh air from outside driving through wet
cooling pads, which absorb the heat from the
surrounding and does not make it dry like ACs. Air
cooler does not use any harmful cooling agents such
as CFC, HCFC, and other hydrofluorocarbons used in
AC to cool the surrounding, making it more eco-
friendly.

Constructional Functions of
Personal Coolers:-

Constructional functions of personal coolers

resemble the overload coolers. There is a container
waiting, the air fan, the water pump, the container
for water and the controls of the air cooler.
Normal air
cooler
• Normal air cooler comes with plastic
or metal body
• The motor which is using is life of 3 to
4 years
• It demands maintenance in every
seasons
• High power consumption
• High noise make by the motor
• Low efficiency of pump due to
continuous running
• Low life cycle of cooling pads
• Hard to manage space during off
seasons
Problems of normal air cooler
• Fails to work in humid condition
• Malaria carrying mosquitoes can spread
• High noise making
• Problems of storage during off season
• Maintenence of cooling pad
• High water consumption
• High power coconsumption
Smart foldable air cooler concept:-
Key features:-

 Foldable
 Low power consumtion
 Low water consumption
 Smart air throw system
 Smart humidity control function
 Foldable technology:-
This technology used smart sliding lock system.

Description:-
• This system allows upper body of cooler slides
into tank and locked.
• By the help of this mechanism handling of air
cooler in off seasons as well when not in
use ,makes simple
• This mechanism also saves the motor as well as
cool pads of air cooler are.
• This improves life cycle of cooling pads
Low power consumtion using
bldc motor
• BLDC motor stands of brush less DC motor
• It makes low noise
• It gives the maximum output in minimum input
• It makes the power consumtion of cooler low
• It run on inverter as well
Smart humidification system
• This cooler uses the xhw3005 humidity controller
• The controller operates the water pump on the
different humidity conditions
• It allows the water pump to switch on and off on
different conditions
• It helps in low water consumption and also not
increases the humidity in room
 Xh-w3005 humidity controller
• Multifunctional humidity controller, this device can
be used to control the humidity in many places,
such as farm and other factories. .
• Set to Start the Humidity: Press the UP button
display and start the humidity, long press about 3
seconds to start the humidity flashing, then press
the UP or Down to adjust the set.

controller
Smart air throw system
• It uses the PIR sensor
• It detect the thermal radiation from human body.
• PIR stands for passive infrared sensor.
• With the help of this sensor it detects the person
on throw the air in that particular direction
• With the help of this technology air throw by the
cooler become more effective and efficient
PIR SENSOR
• passive infrared sensor is an electronic sensor that
measures infrared light radiating from objects. PIR
sensors mostly used in PIR-based motion detectors.
Also, it used in security alarms and automatic
lighting applications.
• Generally, PIR sensor can detect animal/human
movement in a requirement range. PIR is made of a
pyroelectric sensor, which is able to detect different
levels of infrared radiation.  The detector itself does
not emit any energy but passively receives it.

sensor
Smart humidity control system.
• Dht11 sensor is using in this technology
• It senses the humidity and temperature of
surroundings and work accoraccordingly.
• It makes the cooling more effective and efficient
DHT11 sensor
• The DHT11 is a commonly used Temperature and
humidity sensor that comes with a dedicated NTC
to measure temperature and an 8-bit
microcontroller to output the values of
temperature and humidity as serial data.
 Benefits of foldable smart
cooler:-
• Foldable I.e consume less space during off seasons
• Low noise making
• Simple installation. The evaporative air coolers are mobile and compact.
• Electricity consumption is almost 10 times less than an air cooler.
• Thi air cooler is environmentally friendly - no harmful chemicals are
used, the most natural process is water evaporation. It is the ideal
solution for a green home (green office, etc.).
• This air cooler is able to work in open space (room with open windows,
street, balcony, terrace). This is basically not possible with an air
conditioner! Moreover, in order to achieve the maximum cooling effect,
it is recommended to provide an inflow of fresh air (open doors,
windows).
• Thie air cooler not only cools but also filters the air.
