Alternative AC for IIT Kharagpur Students' Cooling Tank

Kolkata, May 19: An alternate future, a group of two members from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, will introduce water compounds, alternate air conditioners and lead to a 50 percent reduction in the cooling price. This shell idiom 360 is the entry of five finalists of the awards selection chosen by India. At the company's Geology and Geophysics Department of Sahourrants, Maurya and Sompop Emperor proposed a cooling system called a passive solar water wall that revolves around a rectangular water tank that sets a wall in a tank.

"This ties with future city concept. The water tank is different from conventional tanks as it has a very high surface area so maximum air can interact with the tank walls and get cooled. It could be an alternative to air conditioners in the future," Maurya told. Maurya said ACs contribute to about 35 per cent of total household electricity consumption and produces 1.5 tonnes of carbon every year. The water is heated and passively circulated keeping the inner wall relatively cool, reducing the air temperature and the need for air cooling systems, Maurya said in the pitch for the awards open to voting by audiences. "For primary investments, the initial investment is Rs 1 lakh, depending on the design structure," he said.

"A large number of ACs contribute to the increase in local urban temperatures. The efficiency of the ACs depend upon the temperature difference they are trying to maintain. They are creating the very problem they are trying to solve. Also consider the scenario that the global average temperature is increasing. The number of Acs in the market is going to sore. Is that the real solution?" the team posed in their pitch.

These benefits include: CFC emission, carbon emission, almost low power consumption and 50 percent reduction in cooling costs. "Water has been addressing all the problems by saying that the water has a very high heat capacity, so it prevents any major temperature change by absorbing heat. If we install our water tanks in the walls of buildings, it will be resistant to major temperature changes, as well as daily household use with absorbed style Removing the system by "They said.
