摘      要：Evaporative cooling(EC)is an ancient technique that is usually suitable for hot and dry climatic conditions due to the potential of water vapor *** this study,three kinds of evaporative cooling systems such as direct EC(DEC),indirect EC(IEC),and Maisotsenko cycle EC(MEC)were locally developed at *** performance of the systems was evaluated and compared for agricultural storage and livestock air-conditioning application in *** experiments were performed for climatic conditions of Multan city(Pakistan)and the data were collected for hourly and daily *** to the results,it was observed that the DEC system has the ability to reduce the temperature of ambient air to an average of 8.5℃.Whilst IEC and MEC systems were able to drop the temperature of ambient air to an average of 6.8℃and 8.9℃,*** per the results,the DEC system remained behind to provide desired conditions for livestock and agricultural product storage applications due to excessive *** the other hand,the IEC and MEC systems can achieve the desired conditions for livestock application,but could not provide feasible conditions for various fruits and vegetable *** study concludes that hybrid EC systems can be developed to provide desired conditions for a wide range of applications under varying climatic conditions.
