Summary

Dehumidifying air in building ventilation systems is an essential requirement to improve thermal comfort for the occupants. In humid conditions, the removal of moisture is very energy-intensive. It does not benefit much from current advancements such as inverter systems, as these are very effective mainly for sensible cooling. Desiccant cooling systems with natural gas-fired boilers for regeneration are inefficient and are moving away from CO2 reduction efforts. In this paper, the performance of the hybrid cooling system (HCS), HCS with trans-critical CO2, HCS with ejector-based CO2, and HCS with 90 ℃ heat pumps are computed and compared with the conventional vapour compression system (VCS) for a total cooling load (sensible and latent) of 9.25 KW. HCS with ejector-based CO2 heat pump system was found to be the best, and the system COP was 68.9% more, and the CO2 emissions were reduced by 41% compared to VCS.
