The technical challenges for solid desiccant cooling.

Author(s) : SHELPUK B.

Summary

Air-conditioning and dehumidification systems using solid desiccants have been developed and are finding niche applications in commercial buildings with special humidity problems or requirements. Ongoing research is being directed at materials and components which have the promise of increasing the performance and reducing the cost of air-conditioning systems to the point that they will realize broader application for building environmental control. This technical progress, coupled with intensive societal pressures for limiting the growth of peak electrical demand and release of global-warming and ozone-destruction gases, suggests that desiccant technology will experience an expanding penetration of the building air-conditioning market.
