Evaporative Cooling for Occupational Health in Tropical Climates

Abstract

Occupational health is a cross disciplinary area concerned with protecting the health of people engaged in work or employment. If is increasingly becoming a serious concern for industries and companies to safeguard the well-being of their employees. When address the physical hazards under occupation health, provision of thermal comfort is very important, especially to avoid hyperthermia condition which could be a vital issue in tropical climates. Hence, there should be a HVAC system like Evaporative cooling which has best performances in terms of thermal comfort as well as the occupational health. Evaporative cooling is a best alternative for providing thermal comfort environment as it is very much energy efficient and also it could control the spreading of Biological hazards such like bacteria, virus and fungi.
