Evaporative coolers are an ancient technology, invented long before the introduction of chemical refrigerants as used in modern refrigerators or cooling towers. This two-volume set covers the topic, with practical applications, construction techniques, and operation of the technology. Engineering Principles, Modeling, and Economics of Evaporative Coolers covers the basic engineering and technical principles behind the operation and construction of evaporative coolers, while also highlighting challenges. The book presents the reader with selected case studies on modeling within the cooling chamber and explains the economic implications an evaporative cooling structures might bring. Edited by a team of specialists, the book also explains the strong dependence of the technology's performance on environmental conditions, and hence the limits on temperature control in the preservation of postharvest agriculture products. Key Features, Thoroughly explores unit operations and engineering principles of evaporative coolers. Includes Computational Fluid Dynamic modeling on evaporative cooling structures, and, Covers the results on quality changes in stored fresh commodities to explain the nutritional and economic benefits of evaporative coolers.
