Abstract

The study investigated the solid desiccant cooling systems. The system is regenerated by solar energy and electricity heater. This work assesses the energy saving possible from developing solar assisted desiccant air conditioning system and makes recommendations for further research on the concept. This system is designed to satisfy space cooling demand. In this paper simulation/ theoretical analysis and experimental analysis of this component is presented with particular attention to the variation of the performance as a function of the process and regeneration air flow rates. The experimental results were comparable with the results obtained from the theoretical.The experimental results obtained by the authors and data provided by the simulation have been used to calculate some performance parameter and a satisfactory agreement has been obtained. The experimental results indicated that the average thermal COP cycle is 0.6 and the cooling capacity in the range of 5.6 kW under hot and humid ambient conditions. The results show that higher influence on the dehumidification process is due to the regeneration of temperature rather than to the regeneration of air flow rate.
