Abstract: Experimental research was carried out to investigate energetic and exergetic performances of air conditioner/wet potteries system. Parametric study was performed under different outdoor temperatures. Thermal performance was carried out to calculate cooling capacity, power consumption, coefficient of performance (COP), energy efficiency ratio (EER), compressor body temperature and water consumption from potteries. In addition, exergetic performance was investigated. Results showed integrating wet pottery with air conditioner yields an increase in cooling capacity and COP. The increase in ambient air temperature tends to decrease exergy rate product and increase exergy destruction.
