ASSESSMENT OF THERMALLY ACTIVATED HEAT PUMPS WITH DESICCANT COOLING.

Author(s) : TURNER R. H.

Summary

TWO CONFIGURATIONS OF A THERMALLY ACTIVATED HEAT PUMP WITH A DESICCANT WHEEL FOR AIR DRYING ARE ANALYZED AND COMPARED TO 2 CONVENTIONAL AIR CONDITIONERS FOR SPACE COOLING. ANNUAL ENERGY PERFORMANCE ESTIMATES ARE MADE FOR EIGHT US LOCATIONS USING HISTORICAL DATA FROM THE SUMMER OF 1986. TWO SYSTEM OPERATIONAL MODES ARE CONSIDERED: (1) VENTILATION MODE AND (2) RECIRCULATION MODE. WHEN THE SYSTEM OPERATES IN THE VENTILATION MODE, WHICH PRESSURIZES THE HOUSE, THE COOLING LOAD IS REDUCED.
