Summary

The proposed cooling system operates on the ventilation mode. The ambient air is dehumidified using liquid desiccants followed by adiabatic evaporative cooling. For this system, a simple expression is derived in the paper to predict the amount of heat removed from the space to be conditioned in terms of known initial parameters through a simplified vapour pressure correlation and effectiveness of the dehumidifier and the heat exchanger. The effect of ambient air conditions, solution concentration, the cooling water temperature and the effectiveness of the dehumidier and the heat exchanger on the performance of the cooling system are also discussed in the paper.
