  • Experimental Performance of a Liquid Desiccant dehumidification System under tropical climates

    9th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies

    The current energy crisis, climate change and increased air conditioning demands have generated
    a need for developing technologies based on renewable energy sources. Foremost amongst the
    cooling technologies are the sorption technologies working on low grade heat that can be
    supplied by solar energy. Liquid desiccant technologies seem to be a promising option as these
    tend to have higher thermal COPs, lower regeneration temperatures, facilitate simultaneous
    cooling and ease of…

    The current energy crisis, climate change and increased air conditioning demands have generated
    a need for developing technologies based on renewable energy sources. Foremost amongst the
    cooling technologies are the sorption technologies working on low grade heat that can be
    supplied by solar energy. Liquid desiccant technologies seem to be a promising option as these
    tend to have higher thermal COPs, lower regeneration temperatures, facilitate simultaneous
    cooling and ease of storage of concentrated desiccant that can be used during the non sunshine
    hours. But few concerns like carryover of liquid desiccant in air require further investigations.
    The liquid desiccant system under study incorporates a double channeled exchanger for air to
    liquid desiccant heat and mass transfer. It provides large surface area for air/desiccant contact
    and reduces the carryover as direct contact between desiccant and air is minimized unlike in
    spray towers, packed bed and other technologies. Desiccant is heated in a plate heat exchanger
    using hot water and then regenerated in a regenerator. The set-up comprises of a dehumidifier,
    along with a regenerator, a cooling tower, plate heat exchangers and a control unit. Experiments
    were conducted on the system using Calcium Chloride as desiccant by varying parameters like
    inlet air conditions, hot water temperature and desiccant concentration in order to evaluate the
    performance of the system under different operating conditions. The performance of the system
    is presented in terms of moisture removal rates, dehumidification and regeneration effectiveness.
