A steady-state simulation of an advanced desiccant-enhanced cooling and dehumidification system.

Author(s) : CHANT E. E., JETER S. M.

Summary

Simulations were performed on a new desiccant-assisted cooling and dehumidification system called desiccant-enhanced cooling and dehumidification. This system uses heat and mass transfer in a manner similar to the way in which a heat pipe system uses heat transfer to enhance the latent capabilities of a conventional cooling coil. The investigation indicated that the desiccant-enhanced cooling and dehumidification system offers a smaller capacity degradation at a given system sensible heat ratio than a heat pipe system, currently a favoured method of latent load control.
