Summary

STATES THAT HYBRID SYSTEMS INCORPORATING SOLID-DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIERS AND VAPOUR-COMPRESSION HEAT PUMPS HAVE GAINED CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION IN RECENT YEARS. IN HYBRID SPACE-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, THEAIR CONDITIONER IS ASSISTED BY A SOLID DESICCANT ROTARY DEHUMIDIFIER TO INCREASE BOTH THE SPECIFIC COOLING CAPACITY OF THE HEAT PUMP AND THE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE. IN HYBRID HEAT PUMP ASSISTED DRYING SYSTEMS THE DEHUMIDIFIER INCREASES THE OPERATING RANGE OF THE HEAT PUMP TOWARDS HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS. REVIEWS SOME SYSTEMS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION.
