Sustainable Development of an Evaporative Cooling System for Rural and Off-Grid Applications
Summary. Researchers developed an evaporative cooling system using honeycomb cellulose pads and terracotta tubes for rural and off-grid areas in hot, dry regions. The system reduces temperature by 6–10°C, improves air quality, and cuts energy consumption by 75–80% compared to conventional air conditioning. It offers a low-cost, sustainable alternative that avoids refrigerants and high electricity demands.
