A comparative study between DEVap and vapor-compression cooling systems based on Energy andEconomic Aspects

This study presents energy and economic analyses of anovel and a conventional air cooling systems for diverseclimatic conditions of Iran. First, the energy demand foreach system in diverse climatic conditions aredetermined. Second, the assessment of cooling capacityof the systems within various regions of Iran areinvestigated. Finally, the primary energy consumption(PEC) and the annualized cost of cooling (CDE) arecalculated. The results showed that the powerconsumption of DEvap conditioner and dew point aircooler is much lower than the power consumption ofvapor-compression cooling system. Due to highdependent to system cost, the annualized cost of coolingfor DEvap conditioner and dew point air cooler is higherthan the vapor-compression cooling system.
