Progress in selecting desiccant and dehumidifier for liquid desiccant cooling system
Energy and Buildings, 2012Abstract Liquid desiccant cooling system (LDCS) is an alternative air-conditioning system with good energy-saving potential. Dehumidification performance is the key part of LDCS; while desiccant variety and dehumidifier influence the dehumidification performance.

Use of compound desiccant to develop high performance desiccant cooling system
International Journal of Refrigeration, 2007Abstract The paper is aimed to develop a high performance rotary solid desiccant cooling system using a novel compound desiccant wheel (DW). The unique feature of the desiccant wheel is that it can work well under a lower regeneration temperature and have a higher dehumidification capacity due to the contribution of the new compound desiccant ...

Man-portable personal cooling garment based on vacuum desiccant cooling
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2012Abstract A man-portable personal cooling garment based on the concept of vacuum desiccant cooling (VDC) was developed. It was demonstrated with cooling pads that a cooling capacity of 373.1 W/m2 could be achieved in an ambient environment of 37 °C. Tests with human subjects wearing prototype cooling garments consisting of 12 VDC pads with an overall ...

Performance of an open-cycle desiccant cooling system using advanced desiccant matrices
Heat Recovery Systems and CHP, 1989Abstract The design and off-design performance of an open-cycle cooled-bed desiccant cooling system, using advanced desiccant matrices, is presented. The performance of the cooled-bed dehumidifier, the principle component of the cooling system, is simulated using a numerical model that includes the heat and mass transfer resistance within the ...

Second Law Analysis of Desiccant Cooling Systems
Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 1982A second law analysis of constant pressure open cycle cooling systems was performed in order to assess the potential performance of desiccant cooling systems. The results yield upper bounds which are independent of the nature of the desiccant. Calculations carried out for a wide range of operating conditions show that the performance of these open ...

EVALUATION OF THE COOLING POTENTIAL OF A DESICCANT COOLING SYSTEM
2008Increased living standards and high occupants comfort demands lead to a growing air-conditioning market. This results in increased energy consumption and an increased CO2 emission. Thus in the EU, 40% of the total energy consumption and 20% of the total CO2 emissions are due to building sector.

Adsorption Cooling With Multi-Stage Desiccant Processes
Volume 6B: Energy, 2013For traditional adsorption cooling systems using silica-gel-like desiccant wheels, the moisture is removed from the air and stored in the desiccant wheels. The subsequent reactivation process is to dry the wheel by blowing hot air. The moisture is added to the dried air to take the advantage of evaporative cooling.
