“…As a result, the CFD simulations have been proved to be reliable to simulate and analyze the dehumidification process. Niu et al [40] employed a standard turbulence model and Discrete Phase Model (DPM) to simulate the heat and mass transfer in a humidification evaporator and consider the velocity and temperature fields in the device. They indicated that the velocity of air was higher under the pipe bundle and there was a partial eddy current near the wall of the box (Figure 5a).…”

“…The air velocity at the center of the eddy current was higher than in the surrounding area. Figure 5b depicts that the total air pressure reduced gradually from the bottom to the top, and was higher under the pipe bundle [40]. Luo et al [41] introduced some mathematical models to predict and investigate the heat and mass transfer process in a liquid desiccant dehumidifier.…”

In the past decades, desiccant cooling systems have received much attention. These systems are considered as an alternative way to decrease energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission in humid and hot locations. To address the importance of desiccant air-conditioning systems, the present research aims to provide an overview of recent studies on the development of desiccant air conditioning system. Another objective is to consider the numerical and theoretical analysis of desiccant systems. Moreover, for the first time, a summary of recent researches regarding the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique for numerical modeling of desiccant cooling systems has been especially reviewed in detail. Finally, in the present review, the principle of regeneration of liquid desiccant using solar energy have also been considered briefly.
