Liquid desiccant dehumidification systems are widely used in many industries including HVAC. Special attention has been paid to the liquid desiccant air conditioning (LDAC) system performance analyses. However, the studies, such as factor analysis and performance optimization of LDAC system, have not received enough attention. This paper focuses on...

This paper is concerned with performance investigation and comparison between two novel configurations (type A and type B) of liquid desiccant air-conditioning system driven by low grade thermal energies. Both of these configurations, compared with other liquid desiccant systems, may have some outstanding advantages: leading to improved indoor air...

In this work a novel energy efficient air-conditioning system utilizing lithium chloride (LiCl) solution as liquid desiccant has been proposed and simulated. The simulation of this system is mainly formulated with two packed columns, one for regenerating the weak desiccant and the other for the dehumidification of ambient air. The air is first dehu...

Internally cooled or heated liquid desiccant–air contact units can be used for effective air dehumidification or desiccant regeneration, respectively. One-dimensional differential equations were utilized in the present study to describe the heat and mass transfer processes with parallel/counterflow configurations. The effects of solution film heat...
