Temperature in Hyderabad is so high that having cooler has
become mandatory for the people living in this area. Coolers are in demand and
at many places no stock is the common answer form the shop owners. The branded
company made coolers are costing few thousands and makes it quite difficult for
the normal people to opt for. Many local made coolers are available in the
market here which is built using the simple technique and also the cost is very
low compared to the branded ones.
The cooler which I came across recently is made using the
closed metal cabinet which is having a vertical mounted fan on one side and the
other sides are covered with the grills having grass like material covering. The cooler has three knobs functioning independent of each
other. The knobs can be used to control fan speed, swing and pump, any knob can
be turned on at any time without necessity of having the other to work. I mean
the pump can be turned on without starting the fan.
The cooler is having
a pump which pumps water on the three sides of the cabinet except the one
having the fan. The water will be pumped and made to flow on the sides of
cabinet till the water is empty in the container. Water has to be filled opening any one side of the cabinet.
The cooler works efficiently but few modifications have to
be made in order to make it more efficient. The water has to be poured into the
cooler opening a side grilled door, instead of that an inlet in the top will
make the work simple. Also, the three knobs works independently those three has
to be dependent so that only when the fan is running, the pump and the swing have
to be performed.
We have low cost technologies which can be effectively
utilized for producing low cost consumer electronics products instead of
hanging for branded ones.
