Design and Fabrication of a Solar-Powered Air Cooler with Phase Change Material Integration

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: With rising temperatures and energy demands, there is an urgent need for sustainable cooling solutions. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a solar-powered air cooler enhanced with phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage. The system operates using solar energy during the day and utilizes the PCM to continue cooling after sunset. The results show improved energy efficiency and a notable reduction in indoor temperature without using conventional electricity.
