Abstract

We all know that the temperature of our atmosphere is increasing day by day. So the requirement of coolers
is necessary in our life. But because of high cost air conditioners poor people cannot take the benefit of cool air. So we
decided to make a low cost cooler using radiator. Radiators are heat exchangers which are used to transfer heat from
one medium to another medium for the purpose of cooling or heating. The heat exchangers or radiators used in
automobiles/IC engines are either rectangular or square in shape, but because it is heat exchanger it can also be used as
moist free cooler. In the present work we are using scrap radiators as a moisture free cooler for domestic applications.
In this work the cold water will allow to pass to the copper pipes due to which it will cool down and so afterwards when
air blows over it the cold air can be achieved and temperature can be measured with the help of k type thermocouples.
