Abstract
The performance of the classical evaporative summer air-conditioning system for different working fluids is studied. Also a modified summer air condit ioning system is proposed. The performance of the proposed system for diffe rent working fluids is investigated quantitavely and the performance of bot h systems for different working fluids is compared. It is found that changi ng the working fluids of the classical evaporative system influences the ef ficiency especially for Argon by about 8%, whereas the change of working fl uids for the modified system improves the efficiency slightly.
