INTRODUCTION
Air conditioning is the process of conditioning the indoor air for the
specified thermal comfort. An air conditioner is an appliance, system or
machine, designed to stabilize the air temperature and humidity within an

having asbestos roofs which have higher heating load inside the shed. The
evaporative air coolers are best suited for such industrial sheds.
The evaporative air coolers are broadly classified into the following
categories,
the air conditioner. Similarly the efficiency of the indirect evaporative air
cooler is very low, when compared with the direct evaporative air coolers.
Country like India has large number of industrial sheds fitted with
asbestos roofs. Uses of conventional air conditioning system for such
industrial sheds are very costly and are not used. Evaporative cooling can be a
suitable remedy. But, the presently available wetted pad type coolers are
suitable for handling small air volumes and are not suitable for such industrial
sheds. Under these circumstances, the objective of the present research work
is
