In reducing indoor temperature, evaporative cooling window system using labu sayong can be one of the alternative strategies. This system will help to tackle the issue of increasing costs in keeping the home cool by managing the energy consumption and also offers a better indoor environment. In preventing the issue of increasing energy cost, this s...

... the basic types of evaporative cooling techniques, [27] with [24] believes that evaporative cooling can be divided into three groups (table 3), namely direct evaporative cooling, where moisture is added to the air stream, indirect evaporative cooling, where the moisture content of the air stays constant and another one is a combination of these two methods which is indirect and direct evaporative cooling. Direct evaporative cooling introduces water directly into the supply airstream (usually with a spray or some sort of wetted media). ...Similar publications
Evaporative cooling window system (ECWS) using labu sayong integrated with mechanical ventilation and energy operated using solar electricity is one of the most preferable strategies to increase the indoor thermal comfort inside a building in hot-humid tropic countries like Malaysia. This system will help tackle the issue of increasing costs in kee...

... When the wetbulb temperature is lower than the dry bulb temperature and the difference between them represents the maximum decrease in temperature achievable using evaporative cooling devices storage technology. As EC removes sensible heat from produce and surface, it works best in hot and dry climate and it not suited for humid areas like coastal regions with moderate to high RH of 70-85% [47]. ...
Fruits and vegetables are perishable crops, which have high moisture content and short shelf life. Most Postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables occur due to lack of proper cold storage. According to most of research and review show, approximates 40-50% fruits and vegetables loss in the supply chain at globally level. In many Africa countries, postharvest losses are not properly documented but experts have projected the losses to be up to 80%. In Ethiopia, postharvest loss of fruits and vegetables is 50% due to lack of appropriate postharvest handling practice and storage technologies. The loss up to 50% could be caused due to biological and environmental factors. In order to reduce postharvest loss of fruits and vegetables the roles of low cost evaporative cooling storage technology is great. Evaporate cooling is the process by which temperature of substance reduced due to cooling effect from evaporation of water. It work best at dry and hot climate area when results in reduction of temperature and increase in relative humidity. This storage technology reduces postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables by controlling temperature, concentration of gases and relative humidity of the storage area. Therefore, the aim of this review paper is to review studies made by several researchers and reviewers on the roles of evaporate storage technologies in postharvest loss reduction of fruits and vegetables. This storage technology of fruits and vegetables produce available for sale increased 42% to 62% and enhances 10-15 % food security. So to mitigate or alleviate high postharvest loss of perishable crops using evaporative storage technology is very important and determinant
