Experimental investigation of a novel desiccant cooling system

Performance studies of hybrid solid desiccant–vapor compression air-conditioning system for hot and humid climates

“…67 ω =ω (4) Supply air to the room is obtained by sensible cooling of air during 3-4 in cooling coil, which gives 34 ω =ω (5) Similarly, regeneration air is sensibly heated between 7-8 in an electric heater, giving 78 ω =ω (6) Energy balance between the two air streams in DW gives…”

“…It has been evaluated that the hybrid solid desiccant cooling system achieves a higher part load performance in hot and humid climates. A hybrid solid desiccant air cooling system was designed and experimentally tested [6] for improving the air quality and to find out the reduction in energy consumption. Performance of a hybrid solid desiccant air conditioning system have been experimentally investigated [7] in terms of energy saving.…”

Performance study on composite desiccant material coated fin-tube heat exchangers

“…It can be seen that DCHE combines advantages of conventional fin-tube heat exchanger which can effectively remove http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2015.06.033 0017-9310/Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

When two DCHEs are adopted to operate in parallel: one is in dehumidification process and the other is in regeneration process, a continuous operation air conditioning system can be achieved.…”

Performance investigation of solid desiccant evaporative cooling system configurations in different climatic zones

“…Moreover, experimental investigations included a novel desiccant based air conditioning system configuration to improve the indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption [25]. In the system studied, the moisture of the fresh air was reduced passing through a solid desiccant wheel and then its temperature decreased through the ''dry coil'' of a vapor compression cycle.…”
