Abstract

This study proposes an efficacious design concept in which subsisting window air conditioner is integrated with a contrivance, designed for ameliorating air flow, thereby ameliorating its cooling performance like that of a split-type air conditioner. This contrivance consists of duct pipeline, and a distributor which can be fabricated utilizing steel or aluminum with an insulation cladding to eschew heating of algid air from evaporator afore it is alimented inside room to be cooled. The design was tested virtually with software and results demonstrate an efficacious amelioration in air flow under the optimal design condition.
