A novel dew point evaporative cooler (DPEC) can sensibly cool the incoming air close to its dew point temperature. This paper presents potential energy savings of a novel DPEC for various cities during the summer season (April-June) for Indian buildings with the help of meteorological data.

A novel dew point evaporative cooler (DPEC) can sensibly cool the incoming air close to its dew point temperature. This paper presents potential energy savings of a novel DPEC for various cities during the summer season (April-June) for Indian buildings with the help of meteorological data. Energy savings are calculated by comparing the power required to run a DPEC with that of a conventional compression based refrigerant air conditioning system to produce the same cooling effect.
