Abstract: Substantial growth in refrigeration and air-conditioning industry has made a significant impact on net energy consumption. Condenser pressure is one of the critical parameters in the energy-efficient operation of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. A novel system is developed to use the condensate, available at the cooling coil, for condenser cooling of a window air-conditioner unit by employing evaporative cooling. Performance testing of the system has shown 13% savings in energy and up to 18% enhancement in coefficient of performance. The maximum benefit of the evaporative cooling cycle over the basic cycle was found to be in the region of moderate climatic conditions. Copyright , Oxford University Press.
