To improve thermal performance of radiator as a cooler for domestic application Kaivalya D. Garge1, Mihir R. Parikh2, Bhagirathsinh R.

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.

INTRODUCTION

Radiators are heat exchanger used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. The majority of radiators are constructed to function in automobiles, buildings, and electronics. The radiator is always a source of heat to its environment, although this may be for either the purpose of heating this environment, or for cooling the fluid or coolant supplied to it, as for engine cooling. To get a specific room temperature, radiators, in which warm water streams, are introduced to give this temperature. For the procurement of the radiators, the planner characterizes the required warmth stream rate, room temperature, warming water mass stream rate and temperature. In light of these information, the radiator providers make their offers. Is the outlined radiator surface too little, temperature will be too low, the proprietor of the room won't be fulfilled and the radiator must be supplanted. If the radiator surface too extensive, the room temperature will be too high. Radiators are made up of copper tubes and when the water is passed it reduce the temperature of water and we get cold air when air blows over it. In the present paper we have done the detailed study of various literature regarding radiators.
