Abstract

In this work, a window air-conditioner has been integrated with ducting for improving air circulation and making the cooling of a room more uniform. Temperature distribution at different points in the room in room equipped with window airconditioner was recorded and found to be non uniform. Thus, due to the temperature variation at the points where such decentralized featured systems exist, the problems of high energy consumption and low energy efficiency occur to meets the cooling load. A solution for such quandary has been made in this pilot project, by developing a ducting network for such a system to distribute cool air engendered by ac system in the entire room so that the uniform temperature is achieved at different locations in the room. It was found that the cooling was affected significantly by integrating ducting with window air conditioner.
