An efficient hybrid air-conditioning system is described that takes advantage of the high efficiency for sensible cooling inherent in vapor-compression systems and the high efficiency for latent heat removal inherent in liquid desiccant dehumidification cycles. The thermodynamic and possible economic advantages over a standard vapor-compression system are outlined. Considerable potential is shown to exist for saving energy and reducing peak electric demand over conventional vapor-compression systems that provide the same outlet air conditions.
