A mathematical model has been developed to evaluate the relative thermal performance of a building coupled with an indirect or direct evaporative cooler. Using periodic analysis for taking into account thermal storage of building envelope, explicit expressions have been obtained for room air tempera

✦ Synopsis
A mathematical model based on heat transfer principles, for characterizing the cooling performance of a room coupled indirect evaporative cooler (tube type) has been developed. Two dimensionless parameters, i.e. environment factor, and cooling factor, CF have been defined to characterize the performance of IEC coupled with a room. The optimum values of these parameters have been obtained for different environmental and thermal load conditions. In addition to this, a linear relationship has been obtained for the optimum size of a cooler to remove maximum heat from a room of given size.
