EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF HYBRID LIQUID DESICCANT BASED VAPOR COMPRESSION COOLING SYSTEM

In the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a vast amount of energy is used for air-conditioning and this paper describes a new approach to air conditioning. In the proposed hybrid cooling system, liquid desiccant is used to remove the latent load and the conventional vapor-compression system is used to provide...

description In the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a vast amount of energy is used for air-conditioning and this paper describes a new approach to air conditioning. In the proposed hybrid cooling system, liquid desiccant is used to remove the latent load and the conventional vapor-compression system is used to provide sensible cooling only. In this experimental study, calcium chloride solution is used as the desiccant to dehumidify the air. Gauze-type structured packing towers are used for the dehumidification of air and also for regeneration of the weak desiccant. The designed packed bed dehumidifier and the regenerator are combined with a 5-ton capacity vapor compression system along with the heat recovery units. This paper presents results from a detailed experimental investigation of the heat and mass transfer in a structured packing dehumidifier and regenerator under a variety of operating conditions. In the present study, for the sake of comparison between hybrid and conventional cooling systems, the COP for the cooling system is defined as the heat removed from the space to be cooled divided by energy input for the cooling system. Three different modes of regeneration are considered for the hybrid cooling system and the COP values are compared with conventional vapor compression system. Results show that the ratio of the outlet-to-inlet absolute humidity reaches a steady state value of about 0.6 and the temperature of air decreased from 48 to 38o C in the dehumidifier of the hybrid system. Moreover, it is found that hybrid cooling system provides higher COP compared with conventional system.
