“…It was shown that their cooling system had better performance to achieve substantial energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reduction. Zendehboudi et al 19 simulated the solar desiccant cooling system using the TRNSYS software under the hot and humid climatic conditions of four different locations in Iran. It was concluded that COP of system considered highly depends on the outdoor absolute humidity.…”

This article presents numerical investigations of the solar-assisted hybrid desiccant evaporative cooling system integrated with standard air collectors for applications under the hot and humid climatic conditions of Kuwait city. The objective is to introduce the energy-efficient and carbon-free solar-assisted hybrid desiccant evaporative cooling system to alleviate the principal problems of electricity consumption and carbon emissions resulting from the use of the conventional vapor-compression cooling systems. In the normal building, during cooling load operation, the solar-assisted hybrid desiccant evaporative cooling system can cope with the cooling load particularly sensible by evaporative cooling and latent through desiccant dehumidification. The outcomes of this work indicate that solar-assisted hybrid desiccant evaporative cooling device integrated with air collectors is capable of providing average coefficient of performance of 0.85 and has the potential to provide cooling with energy saving when compared with conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems. It was concluded that under the intense outdoor environmental conditions (ambient air at greater than 45°C and 60% relative humidity), the delivered supply air from the evaporative cooling was nearly at 27°C and 65% relative humidity. To solve this problem, the system was assisted with conventional cooling coil (evaporator of heat pump) to supply air at comfortable conditions in the conditioned space.

“…As hourly data analysis was used, the criteria of normalized mean bias error (NMBE) and coefficient of variation of the root mean square error (CVRMSE) were 10% and 30%, respectively. NMBE and CVRMSE are calculated by Equations (6) and 7, respectively, where is the measured value, is the predicted or simulated value, is the mean of the values, and N is the total number of measured points [17].…”

Reducing energy usage to save the environment is one of the main goals for the future. The energy losses in ventilation have a huge impact on energy consumption in buildings. In this work, the energy performance of a heat recovery wheel system equipped in an air handling unit was tested year-round, and the results compared with the simulation output for the system using TRNSYS software. The selected conditioned space was the staff offices of an H&M fashion shop, located in Eger, Hungary. Temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity sensors were placed at the wheel inlet and outlet sections to record data and determine the annual energy saving. The results revealed a good agreement between the measured and simulated results.
