Summary

A COMPACT, SELF-CONTAINED, ENERGY-EFFICIENT AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM HAS A VAPOUR COMPRESSION (VC) UNIT COMBINED WITH A ROTARY SOLID DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER. THE DRYING MATRIX IS REGENERATED ENTIRELY USING THE WASTE HEAT OF THE VC UNIT BY A HEAT PUMP IN A HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM. THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS ARE GIVEN. COMPUTATIONS SHOW THAT EMPLOYING PARALLEL FLOW RATHER THAN COUNTERFLOW CONFIGURATIONS THROUGH THE MATRIX CAN REDUCE THE REGENERATION HEAT REQUIRED BY ABOUT 40%. THE OVERALL COOLING COP REACHED 1. 73 FOR DESIGN CONDITIONS IN JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA, WHICH IS 25% MORE THAN THAT OF THE VC ALONE.
