Abstract

This work presents the results of experimental work on cellulose cooling pads with honeycomb structure to study their evaporative cooling effect which is one of the partial solutions for achieving the SDG goals 2030. The paper outlines vari ous types of evaporative cooling materials, highlighting their distinctions and potential applications. Furthermore, it offers a comparative analysis of the cooling effects between wide hole and narrow hole cellulose cooling pads, both individually and in combination. The experimental setup results are thoroughly examined to provide insights into the performance of the cooling pads. Results showed up that direct evaporative cooling have a significant cooling effect. Moreover, the work has shown that using pads combinations is an alternative strategy for enhancing the cooling effect for different air/ wind speed conditions This research paper will also show a case study conducted on a real-life Evaporative Air Cooler (EAC) and options for their applications in sustainable smart cities.
