“…The addition of polymeric hydrophobic membranes has gained much attention in liquid desiccant air-conditioning (LDAC) system as the membranes ensure zero carry-over of desiccant-solution-aerosols in the air stream, thereby eliminating the drawbacks of air contamination and corrosion of direct desiccant-air contact systems [9,10]. In addition, the LDAC system has also the ability of utilizing liquid desiccants to store the latent heat of condensation during the regeneration process [11].…”
