3. ABSTRACT
The combined system of air cooler and water chiller is developed to provide better cooling
for air and water cooling. Nowadays we, observe that in industries, hospitals, staff room,
people gathering we require cool water and cool air for human comfort. So, in these places
like industries where production time plays a major role. This combined system will reduce
the ideal time for the workers in search of drinking water at a different station. This
combined system provide both chilled air and water at the desired place of the workshop and
also maintain the cool atmosphere around the workplace.
This combined system also reduce electricity consumption because both arrangements work
on the same compressor. It also modified according to the use like cooling in a CNC
machine.
The combined system of air cooler and water chiller is developed for providing better
cooling effect than the conventional air cooler. It also provides cold water for drinking
purpose comparatively at low cost than the water cooler. It also decreased the moisture
content of air coming through desert cooler up to some extent.

4. INTRODUCTION
The main purposes of a developing combined system of an air cooler and water
chiller to make water cool as well as drinkable and provide comfort environment
for the occupants. Higher air temperature inside a building is found to reduce the
productivity of the occupants and increase the heat stress inside the buildings.
Higher temperature reduces feed consumption, weight gain.
During the hot climate human needs more cold water. All these aspects demand
cooling of indoor air in hot climate zones, as well as cold water. Air cooling may
be a technique of achieving a indoor climate by reducing air temperature,
particularly within the arid region of the planet.

5. Water chiller performance is measured in terms of coefficient of performance and
we have tried to increase the efficiency There are many factors which directly or
indirectly effect the performance like condenser temperature, evaporator
temperature, insulation etc. so we continued our project regarding effective use of
evaporator by the combination of two major aspects which are air cooler and
water chiller we tried to use the same evaporating for both purpose and also
achieve the better coefficient of performance.
Now a days, the equipment which produces refrigeration effects are on high
demand, for example refrigerators, air coolers, air conditioners etc. Mostly the
refrigerators are used to be seen in every house now days. The refrigerator is used
for preserving the foods and also for cooling the water and other beverages.

10. OUTCOME OF LITERATURE REVIEW
The outcome which are obtained form literature review is mainly focused on the
coefficient of performance and power consumption.
In this literature review it is mainly define the variety of refrigerant used by
considering the effect of global warming and ozone depilation.
By reducing the size of compressor higher electricity consumption is reduced by
considering the fact that cooling will be not effected.

11. PROBLEM STATEMENT
In massive cities, most of the matter is related to the house and high installation
value of cooling appliances. Therefore, of these appliances that square measure
within the market become unaffordable for the center category or for low-class
families..
The maintenance cost of these appliances is very high which makes them
unsuitable or we can say that unaffordable most of the times.
This appliance consumes large amount of water and electricity so for reducing
the use of these main sources research involves the use of VCRS system which
include eco- friendly refrigerant R134a in cooler system.
11
12. In many industries the workers are working in an environment which becomes
worst for working because of lack of ventilation air and drinkable water.
The workers or labors have to travel more distance for drinking water which
consume lot of ideal time.
In CNC machine during manufacturing process the tool get heated up due to
continuous machining process so it is necessary to cool the machine tool for
smooth manufacturing process
12
13. AIM
All above discussed issue may be overcome by creating a best optimum
resolution by combination of air cooler and water chiller which may be
obtainable at low value and additionally doesn't consume additional power than
typical appliances.
Due to its low maintenance cost it can be buy to normal people. Gives more
standard results than traditional cooling devices.
Dual purpose can be served by using combined system of air cooler and water
cooler.
13
14. OBJECTIVES
To construct and erect model of combined system of Water chiller and Air
cooler.
To measure temperature reading of inlet and outlet of water and air.
Calculate the coefficient of performance.
Increase the cooling rate.
Provide efficient cooling in room with less moisture content.

15. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF WATER CHILLER
15
VCRs System :-
Vapour compression refrigeration cycle
16. The vapor compression refrigeration system is the most popular and wide
utilized in refrige1ration and air conditioning for each industrial and industrial
application. it's usually used for all purpose from a tiny low domestic white
goods to a giant industrial air con plant.
From evaporator once gaining the warmth the refrigerant convert into wet
vapour at air mass and temperature and goes into the mechanical device
wherever its temperature pressure will increase then it transfers into the
condenser (heat exchanger) wherever its temperature drops and pressure
remains constant then once it goes into growth valve wherever its pressure
reduces and refrigerant is born-again into the liquid state.
16
17. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF AIR COOLER
17
Air cooler :-
Working Principle of air cooler
18. The principle on that the air-cooler works is as follows- Water, once evaporates it
desires heat referred to as 'latent heat of evaporation'. Within the cooler, the water
that's sprayed over the pads once evaporates takes the desired heat of
transformation from the part air close them that on losing so the area temperature
drops creating the ambience within comfy. Its heat cools down. air is blown
within the area by the fan fitted on the cooler.
The main components of the cooler are 1) Fan 2) Pump with water distribution
versatile pipelines 3) Porous pads unremarkably fabricated from special grass or
shavings of artificial material and a box fabricated from steel sheets on that the
higher than mentioned things are mounted firmly. This lower a part of the box
additionally is a cistern of the cooler. The cooler works terribly effectively once
the climatic conditions are hot and dry.
18
19. In the wet condition, it's not effective. the explanation is in wet condition there's
very little or no water evaporation from the cooler's pad as a result of the
encompassing air is usually saturated with wet that doesn't enable more
evaporation of water from pad surfaces leading to abundant less loss of warmth
of the encompassing air thus much no cooling within the area the cooler is
serving.

20. WORKING PRINCIPLE COMBINED SYSTEM
20
Combined system of air cooler and water chiller :-
Combined system of air cooler and water chiller
21. When the compressor is switch on refrigerant is compressed and its pressure
and temperature increase and then it goes into the condenser.
Then in condenser the refrigerant loses its heat and its temperature but the
pressure remains constant then it flows to the cooling coil through expansion
vale where the temperature and pressure both reduced.
The water in the tank get cooled by cooling coil by absorbing the latent heat of
water. Now this cooled water is used for cooling the tool of CNC machine,
drinking purpose etc.
Here the cooling coil is extended up to air cooler section where the moisture
from the cooling coil is mixed with air by which we get cooled air.
