Summary

Desiccant assisted air conditioners yield lower humidities in the conditioned space compared with conventional systems. In this article, the effects of design variables of the air conditioner, namely supply airflow rate, compressor pumping capacity (compressor speed) and desiccant wheel speed, on its performance were studied. It was found that an optimum wheel speed of about 17.5 rph exists at which both moisture removal capacity and COP are at a maximum.
