High Potential of Full Year Operation with Solar Driven Desiccant Evaporative Cooling Systems

Experimental and simulation study of the performance of a desiccant loop cooling system

“…The first approach is airbased temperature approach (ABTA). Based on this, Indoor operative temperature ¼ ð0:078 � Outdoor temperatureÞ þ 23:25 (7) The second approach is standard effective temperature-based approach (SETBA). Based on this, Indoor operative temperature ðIOTÞ ¼ ð0:014 � Outdoor temperatureÞ þ 24:53…”

Performance of an unglazed transpire collector in the facade of a building for heating and cooling in combination with a desiccant evaporative cooler

“…The simulations were carried out under four different climates according to [33], that correspond to dry and mild, wet and hot, dry and hot, and wet and mild summer climate conditions. The locations selected were Vienna, Cairo, Athens and Honolulu, see table 4.…”

Performance of two-stage rotary desiccant cooling system with different regeneration temperatures

“…La et al [1] reviewed the recent developments in rotary desiccant cooling system and it is found that the research on rotary desiccant cooling system mainly focuses on fields of desiccant material, mathematical model and system configuration. In recent years, more and more researches on combing solar collecting system with rotary desiccant cooling system appear.…”

“…In recent years, more and more researches on combing solar collecting system with rotary desiccant cooling system appear. Preisler et al [1] and Enteria et al [2] investigated the performance of solar flat-plate collector powered rotary desiccant cooling system. Bourdoukan et al [3] proposed that the low efficiency of flat-plate collectors resulting in low potential of solar energy use in solid desiccant cooling, and then heat pipe vacuum tube collectors was adopted to drive conventional solid desiccant cooling system.…”
