This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing concern with indoor air quality has led to air-quality standards with increased ventilation rates. Although increasing the volume flow rate of outside air is advisable from the perspective of air-quality, it is detrimental to energy consumption, since the outside air has to be brought to the comfort condition before it is insufflated to the conditioned ambient. Moreover, the humidity load carried within outside air has challenging HVAC engineers to design cooling units which are able to satisfactorily handle both sensible and latent contributions to the thermal load. This constitutes a favorable scenario for the use of solid desiccants to assist the cooling units. In fact, desiccant wheels have been increasingly applied by HVAC designers, allowing distinct processes for the air cooling and dehumidification. In fact, the ability of solid desiccants in moisture removal is effective enough to allow the use of evaporative coolers, in opposition to the traditional vapor-compression cycle, resulting in an ecologically sound system which uses only water as the refrigerant. Desiccant Assisted Cooling: Fundamentals and Applications presents different approaches to the mathematical modeling and simulation of desiccant wheels, as well as applications in thermal comfort and humidity controlled environments. Experts in the field discuss topics from enthalpy, lumped models for heat and mass transfer, and desiccant assisted radiant cooling systems, among others. Aimed at air-conditioning engineers and thermal engineering researchers, this book can also be used by graduate level students and lecturers in the field.

Download or read book Simulation based Design Methodology for a Solar Assisted Solid Desiccant Cooling System in Hot and Humid Climates written by Aditya Nibandhe and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar assisted Solid Desiccant Cooling (SDC) systems are effective solutions for hot and humid climates. Unlike conventional cooling systems that cool and dehumidify simultaneously, SDC systems handle sensible and latent load separately, assuring more accessible, economical and efficient air conditioning. Air-based flat-plate Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) collectors can provide low grade thermal energy for SDC operation. However, PV/T collectors optimized for increasing the outlet air temperature adversely affect the electrical performance and material integrity of the photovoltaic (PV) modules. As a result, an auxiliary heater (AH) is commonly employed to boost the outlet air temperature to the required level to support the SDC system's operation; increasing the input power requirements of the integrated system. This research investigates a Photovoltaic Thermal Solar Air Heater (PVT SAH) assisted Solid Desiccant Cooling (SDC) system for daytime operation in hot and humid climates. The objective of the research is to develop an integrated design methodology for the complex system. An integrated energy model of a roof mounted PVT-SAH assisted SDC system for an archetypical low-rise mixed-use building in India is developed. First, three configurations of the integrated system are compared and an appropriate configuration is identified. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the correlation between the design parameters and the objective functions, and specify the ranges of inputs for the optimization study. A multi-objective optimization study is conducted to investigate the design solutions that reduce the solar assisted SDC system's reliance on auxiliary heater, and optimize the solar energy gains (electrical and thermal) for space cooling application. The integrated system configuration with proposed modifications achieved upto 135% improvement in COPth and upto 48% reduction in unmet hours over the typical system configurations. As per the sensitivity analysis, the collector area, air mass flow rate, and channel height are the most important design parameters. The optimization study results show that AH energy consumption is more sensitive to the air mass flow rate for larger collector areas. In contrast, the PV electrical energy gain is more sensitive to the collector areas. The integrated PVT-SAH assisted SDC system shows a great potential to reduce both energy consumption and peak demand. The design methodology proposed in this study will facilitate the design and application of an integrated PVT-SAH assisted SDC system in hot and humid climates.

Download or read book An Overview of Open cycle Desiccant Cooling Systems and Materials written by R. K. Collier and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desiccant cooling systems process water vapor in the earth's atmosphere to produce cooling. Since mass transfer occurs between the system and its environment, they are commonly referred to as "open-cycle" systems. These systems all use a liquid or solid material called a desiccant to remove water vapor from the air. The process by which water is removed is most often adsorption of the solid desiccants and absorption in the liquid desiccants
Download or read book Simulations and Economic Analyses of Desiccant Cooling Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progress to date in the development and analysis of computer simulations of solar-powered desiccant cooling using an axial-flow disc-type dehumidifier wheel, solar-powered space heating, and electrically driven, standard vapor-compression air-conditioning systems for residential use is documented. Computer simulations for both solar and conventional heating and cooling systems were performed for 12-month heating and cooling seasons. Annual thermal performance and the resulting life cycle costs for both types of systems were analyzed and compared. The heating/cooling season simulations were run for five U.S. cities representing a wide range of climatic conditions and insolation. With the informaion resulting from these simulations, the optimum air-conditioning system was chosen to maximize the conservation of fossil fuels and minimize operating costs. Because of the increasing use of residential air conditioning employing electrically driven vapor-compression coolers, the five locations were studied to determine if it would be beneficial (in terms of both economics and fossil fuel displacement) to displace fossil-fuel-powered vapor-compression coolers and natural gas space heaters with solar-powered heating and desiccant cooling systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper has presented a review of the thermodynamics of three desiccant cooling cycles: the ventilation cycle, the recirculation cycle, and the Dunkle cycle. For the ventilation cycle the qualitative effects of changes in the effectiveness of individual components were analyzed. There are two possible paths to improved dehumidifier performance: changing the design of dehumidifiers using currently available desiccants so as to increase effectiveness without increasing parasitic losses, or developing new desiccants specifically tailored for solar cooling applications. The later part of this paper has considered the second option. A list of desirable desiccant properties was defined, properties of currently used solid and liquid desiccants were compared to this list, and a hypothetical desiccant type that would give improved system performance was discussed.
