Desiccant dehumidification with hydronic radiant cooling system for air-conditioning applications in humid tropical climates.

Author(s) : AMEEN A., MAHMUD K.

Summary

This paper discusses the feasibility of a hybrid desiccant dehumidification system combined with chilled ceiling for air conditioning applications in humid tropical climates. The study presents a design/operation guide of the hybrid system. It also indicates definite merit of the hybrid system when the ventilation air requirement of the conventional system is above a certain threshold. This is particularly so in many practical applications, where a high ventilation air requirement is desirable or mandated, such as operating theatres and certain hospital wards.
