LDAC (liquid desiccant air-conditioning system) is promising for reducing the energy consumption, and improving the indoor air quality. In this paper, the operation performance of LDAC with internally cooled/heated dehumidifier/regenerator was simulated and optimized. The cooling tower and solar...

Climate change may seriously affect the energy consumption of buildings by influencing their air conditioning loads, especially the ventilation loads which vary directly with the local weather conditions. Research on how the ventilation load responds to climate change is of great significance,...

The falling film liquid desiccant air conditioning system is promising to achieve a low pressure drop and low possibility of solution droplets carried by air. However, the insufficient wetted area was found by previous researchers, and its value is difficult to be determined. With a single...

Electro-osmotic regeneration for the solid desiccant has been proved to have many merits such as regeneration without the heat source; energy-saving and simple structure. However; the previous work has revealed that its performance is seriously limited by the severe Joule heating effect and...

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...
