Evaporative cooling trade-offs in liquid desiccant systems.

Author(s) : WILKINSON W. H.

Summary

Evaporative cooling provides critical cooling functions in liquid desiccant systems, but both the amount and the form of the evaporative cooling has varied significantly among alternative systems. The paper evaluates some of these alternative systems in head-to-head comparisons intended to show their relative strengths and weaknesses. The factors associated with the interactions between evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant drying are related to the total comfort system.
