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

摘要

Suitability of the solid desiccant cooling to supplement the conventional vapor compression refrigeration air conditioner has been studied for typical hot and humid climate. A solid desiccant and vapor compression hybrid air-conditioning system for a test room of cooling capacity 1.8 kW, has been modelled in simulation studio project and simulated in TRNSYS environment for the cooling season from March to September. The obtained results have been validated against experimental test data. The eff
