Liquid desiccant dehumidification technology is becoming increasingly attractive due to its high efficient utilization of low-grade heat and its effectiveness in dehumidification. Using this technology, energy-efficient air conditioning systems have been developed, which demonstrated superiority...

The paper aims to overview various mathematical models for modeling the simultaneous heat and mass transfer process in the liquid desiccant dehumidifier. Firstly, the dehumidification principle is introduced briefly. Then the models are interpreted in terms of two classes of dehumidifiers. For...

This paper reported a review based study into the Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC) technology, which was undertaken from a variety of aspects including background, history, current status, concept, standardisation, system configuration, operational mode, research and industrialisation, market...

Thermal energy storage (TES) is moving towards thermochemical materials (TCM) which present attractive advantages compared to sensible and phase change materials. Nevertheless, TCM are more complex to characterize at lab scale and also the implied technology, which belongs to the chemical...
