| Title: | Solar energized Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioning – A review |
| Authors: | Balam, Nagesh B

| Abstract: | A review on Liquid Desiccant based cooling technologies with special focus on advances in liquid desiccant materials and configurations of heat and mass exchangers have been discussed. Performance comparison and energy saving potential of a hybrid liquid desiccant cooling system based on vapour compression based sensible cooling and liquid desiccant based dehumidification in comparison to conventional vapour compression system has been reviewed. Hybrid liquid desiccant cooling system has enormous energy and cost saving potential especially in hot and humid regions like India. The ability of Liquid Desiccant cooling technology to be energized by Solar thermal makes it an attractive alternative to high electrical energy intensive conventional vapour compression based cooling for residential and commercial HVAC applications. |
