Author(s) : ZAWACKI T. S., MACRISS R. A., WURM J.

Summary

ONE POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO MAINTAINING BOTH COMFORT AND CLEAN AIR IS AN OPEN-CYCLE DESICCANT-BASED COOLING SYSTEM WHERE COOLING, VENTILATION AIR, AND AIR CLEANING CAN BE EFFICIENTLY PROVIDED IN ONE UNIT. IN THE PAPER, A HEAT-FIRED SYSTEM IS ILLUSTRATED IN BOTH THE RECIRCULATION AND THE VENTILATION MO PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ARE COMPARED THAT INDICATE THE VENTILATION MODE IS SUPERIOR TO THE RECIRCULATION MODE EVEN WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE BENEFIT OF THE SUPPLY OF FRESH AIR. METHODS ARE DISCUSSED THAT MAY OPTIMIZE THE PERFORMANCE OF OPEN-CYCLE SYSTEMS SUCH AS CHOICE OF DESICCANT AND PROPER HEAT DISTRIBUTION. THE RESULTS OF MATHEMATICAL SIMULATIONS RATING CONDITIONS USING TWO TYPES OF DESICCANTS, MOLECULAR SIEVES AND SILICA GEL, ARE PRESENTED.
