Abstract
The thermal performance of the underground airpipe air conditioning sy stem constructed at the Non-Conventional Energy Research Institute, Gh osi has been studied. The heat exchanger is used in recirculation mode to aircondition eight rooms in a guest house at the Institute. The te mperature and relative humidity of a conditioned and non-conditioned r oom are measured every two hours. The cooling potential of the system is estimated. It is observed that reasonably good thermal comfort cond itions can be created in the building with such a system. The COP of t he installed system is found to be 3.35.
