Summary

The paper shows an influence of evaporative cooler at the inlet of regeneration air stream of an adsorptive desiccant cooling process on the cooling/dehumidifying performance. This evaporative cooling was expected to cause a humidity increase in regeneration air, thus reducing the dehumidifying performance of the honeycomb absorber, while evaporative cooling plays an important role in the production of a lower temperature in supply air. Experimental results showed that the amount of dehumidified water obtained in the process without a water spray evaporative cooler was actually larger than that of the process with water spray evaporative cooler. This behaviour was mainly due to an increase in humidity or relative humidity in the regeneration air, as expected.
