Experimental Investigations on Solid Desiccant Cooling System
Space cooling has become a necessity in present climatic conditions. A considerable fraction of today’s energy consumption is due to air conditioning of buildings, involving both heating and cooling. Maintaining comfortable indoor conditions in office building and industrial environments, it results higher energy bills due to heavy dependency on electrically operated air conditioning systems. Energy cost and environmental concerns force designers to find sustainable solutions. In order to explore ways and means to improve the energy efficiency and alternative energy resources, a feasibility study was conducted for combined cooling, heating and power system suitable for a tropical country This research has been conducted to evaluate the performance and applicability of desiccant cooling systems under Indian climatic conditions. The system has been analysed experimentally for the month of March and April. The performance of solid desiccant wheel at different rph rotation per hour was experimentally investigated in the month of March. The optimum speed for maximum value of average adsorption and regeneration rates was found to be 40 rph of both process and regeneration sectors. The variation of COP for the experiment has been analyzed with day time. It has been found that the COP ranges between 0.43 .54 for the months of March.OBJECTIVEThe aim of the experiments is to investigate the performance of a solid desiccant air conditioning system with a rotary desiccant wheel.
