Title: Parametric study and optimization of an open-cycle adiabatic solid desiccant cooling system. [Theoretical model of an open-cycle desiccant cooling system]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5686730

The performance of an open-cycle adiabatic solid desiccant cooling system operating in the ventilation mode is modeled numerically. The effect of nondimensional dehumidifier channel length, desiccant mass fraction and desiccant isotherm shape are investigated. The results show the conditions where the system has optimum thermal coefficient of performance (COP). 13 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.
