“…The study showed that the twostage desiccant cooling system can totally handle the humidity load for 63 days (51.7%), and about 49.0% can be handled by the solar energy for seasonal total heating load. Mavroudaki et al [8] studied the feasibility of the solar powered single-stage desiccant cooling for the Europe. Based on this research, application of the system was recommended for southern Europe and most of central Europe.…”

Abstract. In this research, the feasibility of solar assisted desiccant evaporative cooling system for o ce buildings was studied. An o ce building located in Chabahar, Iran, as a high cooling load demanding region, was considered as the case study. Di erent con gurations as desiccant-based cooling systems were examined to determine the most appropriate con guration in terms of established indoor air conditions and required cooling energy. The con gurations were simulated hourly, and the monthly mean values were determined. TRNSYS software was used for this purpose. The results indicated that the desiccant-based cooling system operating in the recirculation cycle with precooling Con g. E has the potential to keep the indoor air conditions within the standard recommendations. In addition, it was shown that Con g. E is the superior con guration in terms of the energy performance and can meet the cooling energy requirements of the space. The potential for providing the desiccant regeneration heat by the solar energy was also investigated. Three standard solar thermal panels were explored to propose the most proper array plant. The study showed that an array of solar panels, consisting of two rows of four unglazed solar thermal collectors, could meet the heat energy requirement by the regenerating process.

Abstract-Some alternative and cost effective approaches are needed for space cooling of buildings in order to resolve environmental and economic issues. Desiccant cooling is one of the alternative to conventional air conditioning systems which can solve many problems related to air conditioning. In this paper a method is developed for energy, exergy and anergy analysis of the desiccant cooling system operating on ventilation cycle. Both exergy and energy analysis are usually applied in parallel in order to find the rational use of energy and to determine the individual performances of each component. The transport of exergy between the system components and destructions of exergy accompanied with each component of the system are determined using average parameters calculated from theoretical analysis. The effect of ratio between regeneration to process air flow rate and temperature of regeneration on system performance has been studied too. The results shows that desiccant wheel and solar collector shares the major part of the exergy destruction (about 65%). The upper theoretical limit of system performance can be determined by carrying both exergy and energy analysis which cannot be determined by carrying energy analysis alone. The analysis shows the direction for exergy destruction/anergy minimization by identifying and quantifying the sites with exergy losses.

“…In several cases, the direct regeneration of the liquid desiccant to the sun was considered by using a special type of collector. Among people who make research and experiments of this type of system are, Mavroudaki [6] presented a review of desiccant dehumidification/cooling systems applications in north Europe and they concluded that there was a potential to use these technologies in the European countries.…”

Abstract-The solar potential energy in Tunisia can be used like a principal factor for the operation of new technologies of air conditioning. Studies could be carried out like approaches of simulation, analyzes experimental or both unit. In this paper, we present an analytical solution of heat and mass transfer processes in regenerator and air conditioning system (ACS) cores of a heat recovery /desiccant cooling system (HRDCS) under Tunisia weather conditions. Simulations programs were carried out to test the principal components of the HRDC system. The results show that the coefficient of performance of system improves when we use the renewable energy for heating and cooling. This study is significant and effective to prove the efficiency of such HRDC systems in this country.
