INTRODUCTION

Desiccant cooling technology is required to achieve the target 70% in integrated cooling, heating, and power systems. Desiccant cooling is a potentially clean technology, used to condition the internal environment of buildings and operates without the harmful refrigerants.

It has the ability to provide efficient indoor humidity and temperature control, also reducing the electrical energy requirement. solar energy as input for Air conditioning, we can resolve the both problems of Cooling requirement and fuel consumption.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Warm Weather- Dehumidification & Cooling by Convectional AC Cold condition Heat Pump Inherent in efficiencies of overcooling and then reheating as per requirement We can Manage by Desiccant AC

TECHNOLOGY BEHINDS

For Transfering Heat & Moisture - Regernerative devices - Sorptive Media

We require Multiple Vessel system for Semi Continuous process

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Desiccant cooling is an open heat driven cycle, which uses a desiccant wheel and wheel exchanger in tandem to achieve both cooling and dehumidification.

Desiccant materials, which absorb moisture, can be dried, or regenerated, by adding heat supplied by the sun.

A wheel that contains a desiccant turns slowly to pick up humidity from incoming air and discharge that humidity to the outdoors. Desiccant cooling can also be used in tandem with an conventional air conditioning system in which the desiccant removes humidity and the AC system provides cooling, and in energy recovery ventilators (ERV) to dehumidify incoming fresh air in the summer.

An air conditioning system that can be driven by solar energy. A solar collector used energy from the sun to evaporate water from a desiccant fluid. The desiccant fluid is then flows into a mass transfer device which removes moisture from an air stream.

Electric or fuel backup can be used with this system to regenerate the desiccant material

CONCLUSION

Expensive Not as efficient as a classic installations Better environmental impact DEC system can be effective in terms of energy consumption and indoor comfort Energy savings whole year operation
