A Novel Experimental Apparatus of a Liquid Desiccant Air-Conditioning System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel experimental apparatus of a liquid desiccant air-conditioning system was introduced. The system differed from similar researches in that it could handle the total load of the conditioned space without any refrigeration equipment and it worked in ventilation mode, which could greatly improve the indoor air quality. The schematic diagram of the system was presented and circulating processes of air, water and lithium chloride solution in the system were introduced. The definition of thermal coefficient of performance (TCOP) for the system was introduced and main operating parameters that could affect TCOP were analyzed. The tested TCOP of the system was 0.72~0.98 in summer and 0.30~0.51 in autumn, which showed that liquid discussant air conditioning system was especially suitable for hot and humid conditions.
