In the solid desiccant wheel air-conditioning system, the performance of the desiccant wheel
is critical to the capability, size and cost of the whole system. Constructing mathematical …

This paper presents the review of the development and application of the thermally activated
desiccant cooling technologies. The paper first introduces the global problem of energy and …

Desiccant/evaporative cooling systems offer an environmentally benign alternative to
conventional vapor compression chillers. A desiccant wheel is the heart of this heat driven …

Traditional cooling systems based on vapor compression are ineffective in humid climates
due to their inability to remove moisture below the dew point of the conditioned air, which …

The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

A solid desiccant-based novel dehumidification technique in indoor cooling is a viable
substitute for a traditional dehumidification system in regions with high humidity levels. The …

Component performance and seasonal operational experiences have been analysed for
desiccant cooling systems powered by solar air collectors. Measurements during the …

Hybrid desiccant HVAC systems have shown several advantages, compared to
conventional cooling and dehumidification systems. Therefore, their use is also spreading …

Solar energy is available all over the world in different intensities. Theoretically, the solar
energy available on the surface of the earth is enough to support the energy requirements of …

Adsorption heat storage based on porous adsorbents attracts considerable attention for the
high energy storage density and long storage duration compared to sensible and latent heat …
