Parametric analysis of heat and mass transfer performance of a packed-type liquid desiccant absorber at part-load operating conditions.

Author(s) : KHAN A. Y.

Summary

The use of a liquid desiccant cooling and dehumidification system in a hybrid configuration shows definite advantages in terms of enhanced COP and increased possibility for low-grade heat applications. However, to compare the performance of different hybrid systems, a careful and accurate hour-by-hour analysis of annual energy consumption is needed. Prediction of annual energy consumtpion requires the part-load performance evaluation of each component used in an air-conditioning system. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a rigorous parametric analysis of heat and mass transfer performance of a packed-type, counterflow, liquid desicccant absorber at part-load operating conditions. Lithium chloride solution in a counterflow arrangement with air is used in this analysis.
