A novel rotary desiccant cooling cycle is proposed and studied using thermodynamic analysis method. The proposed cycle integrates the technologies of isothermal dehumidification and regenerative evaporative cooling, which are beneficial for irreversibility reduction. Thermodynamic investigation...

A novel chiller with open-cycle rotary desiccant cooling has been investigated experimentally. The technologies of two-stage dehumidification and regenerative evaporative cooling have been integrated together in this chiller. The objective of this study is to extend the ability for handling...

The utilization of a composite sorbent (NaBr and expanded graphite) in chemisorption air conditioning systems driven by low-grade heat source, and in resorption systems with simultaneous heating and cooling effects was experimentally investigated using bench-scale prototypes. The mass of ammonia...

One two-phase thermo-syphon silica gel-water solar adsorption chiller and LiBr-H2O absorption chiller with new medium CPC (Compound Parabolic Concentrator) solar collectors were investigated. The reliability of adsorption chiller can be improved, because there is only one vacuum valve in this...
