RSM CCD methods was employed to evaluate and optimize the individual/interactive effect of parameters on the cooling efficiency of the proposed system. Optimization results indicate that maximum efficiency can be achieved when inlet air temperature and velocity of 28 oC and 1.2 m/s when PCM coils number was set to 28, respectively.
