Summary

The paper presents some studies on the systems. Desiccants are used to bring the humidity within the comfort range by partially converting the latent heat load into sensible heat load and then meeting this load with conventional V-C cycle. In both the options of hybrid systems consisting of V-C and solid-liquid desiccant cycles, heat rejected from the condenser of the V-C cycle is used to regenerate the desiccants to improve the COP of the systems. A thermodynamic assessment and technoeconomic feasibility study of hybrid V-C and solid-liquid desiccant solar air-conditioning systems have been presented. It is found that a hybrid system with desiccant cycle is more promising under high latent heat load and higher ambient humidity conditions and significant energy saving can be achieved over standard V-C cooling systems.
