As per recent weather
reports, 2020 has been the hottest year on record. With increasing temperature,

layer. On the other hand, air coolers are eco-friendlier since they use water
as the refrigerant. An air conditioner re-circulates the stale air of the room repeatedly,
whereas an air cooler draws fresh air from outside and then cools the room with
