Abstract

Evaporative cooling has been utilized rigorously at places of less electricity access having hotter ambient (comparatively more temperature & less relative humidity). Current research study presents review of the previous research studies conducted all around the world. This paper presents various aspects related to pot-in-pot refrigeration and space heating systems. Aspects include performance, utility, setup arrangements, places of application, economy & materials to be used. Review of the available researches shows that pot-in-pot systems, on an average lower the temperature between 8-18°C, increase the relative humidity between 40-60%, Such systems are more useful and efficient at places nearer to equator where there is comparatively hotter ambient with less humidity. Review also reveals that this system is economical and cheaper than other refrigeration & space cooling techniques.
