This paper will introduce a desiccant-assisted system that combines dehumidification and mechanical refrigeration by means of a desiccant preconditioning module that can serve two or more conventional air-conditioning (A/C) units. It will be demonstrated that the proposed system, also having indirect evaporative cooling within the preconditioning module, can provide reduced energy consumption, significant cost savings, and independent humidity and temperature control. The results are improved indoor air quality (IAQ) and enhanced occupant comfort.
