Author(s) : MECKLER G.
Type of article: Article
Summary
DESCRIBES TWO PROJECTS FOR A HOSPITAL AND A MUSEUM IN THE USA WHICH DEMONSTRATE HOW NEW METHODS NOW PERMIT THE ECONOMIC APPLICATION OF LOW-GRADE SOLAR ENERGY FOR COOLING BUILDINGS. AIR CONDITIONING DEHUMIDIFICATION IS SEPARATED FROM TEMPERATURE CONTROL BY USING A LIQUID DRYING AGENT. THIS IS DRIED FOR RE-USE BY LOW-GRADE SOLAR ENERGY VIA INEXPENSIVE FLAT PLATE COLLECTORS. HEAT RECOVERY ALSO ENHANCES THE EFFICIENCY OF THE REGENERATION PROCESS, THIS REDUCING THE COLLECTOR AREA REQUIRED.
