;

The design and off-design performance of a desiccant integrated, hybrid, vapor-compression cooling system is modeled numerically. The concept of hybrid cooling investigated in this paper utilizes the waste heat rejected from a vapor-compression cycle to activate a desiccant dehumidification cycle. The hybrid system consists of four major components, a compressor, an evaporator and two desiccant integrated condensers/dehumidifiers. The performance of a first generation prototype desiccant integrated hybrid, vapor-compression cooling system is evaluated at ARI, conditions and the effect of outdoor conditions various parameters on system performance are reported.
