Optimization of a desiccant aided evaporative cooling system

[[abstract]]The typically humid climate is not amenable to present evaporative cooling systems. This study seeks to develop a system which would include drying the humid air (by using a desiccant) for efficient use in the evaporative cooler. The optimization analysis employs a high efficiency desiccant which could be regenerated by solar energy and uses designs engaging an indoor comfort range techniques instead of a design-point to achieve realistic optimum systems. The simulated results provide a design, operation and sensitivity analysis for a residential cooling example.[[sponsorship]]經濟部能源委員會[[notice]]補正完畢[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]19850510~19850511[[booktype]]紙本[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]臺北市, 臺
