Problem statement: New approaches to space conditioning of buildings are to resolve
environmental, economic and regulatory issues. One of the alternative systems that brought to agenda
is the desiccant cooling systems, which may provide important advantages in solving air conditioning
problems.
Approach: The performance analysis of desiccant cooling with solar energy are analyzed.
The system was designed, constructed and tested in National University of Malaysia. This system
consist of a desiccant wheel, heat recovery wheel, evaporative cooler, fan, solar collector (vacuum
tube) and electric heater unit.
Results: As the key/design parameters, the rotation speed 12 rph and the
ratio area of regeneration temperature from 50-120Introduction
