REVIEW OF OPEN-CYCLE DESICCANT AIR-CONDITIONING CONCEPTS AND SYSTEMS.

Author(s) : WURM J.

Summary

DESICCANT COOLING HAS DRAWN ATTENTION OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS BECAUSE OF ITS APPLICATIONS IN AIR CONDITIONING. ONE ADVANTAGE OF THIS HEAT-DRIVEN OPEN-CYCLE EQUIPMENT IS ITS POTENTIAL SIMPLICITY. AS A RESULT OF ANALYTICAL AND PRACTICAL INVESTIGATIONS, SOME DESICCANT SYSTEMS ARE AT THE POINT OF BEING COMMERCIALIZED. IN ADDITION, THESE SYSTEMS OFFER EFFECTIVE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN CASES OF HIGH FRESH-AIR REQUIREMENTS. THE CONTROL OF BACTERIA, AIRBORNE PARTICULATES AND CO2, COMBINED WITH A HEATING CAPABILITY MAKE THEM ATTRACTIVE FOR CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE IN AGRICULTURE. THE CAPABILITY OF USING WASTE HEAT IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC, SPECIFICALLY WHEN COMBINED WITH A COMPRESSION COOLING MACHINE FOR ROOM AIR CONDITIONING WITH A VIEW TO SAVE ENERGY.
