| dc.description.abstract | Hybrid desiccant cooling systems are emerging as an energy efficient, environmentally benign and human friendly alternative to the conventional vapour compression refrigeration systems for comfort cooling applications. In this study, a hybrid desiccant cooling system was designed to meet the humid tropical condition of Malaysia. Dehumidification process, which conducted in a wetted wall absorber, is then followed by a smaller capacity of vapour compression refrigeration system for sensible cooling. In this system, a liquid desiccant was used. The desiccant will be regenerated directly in a solar regenerator/collector. From a psychrometric analysis, this hybrid desiccant cooling system will reduce up to 37.89 % of cooling capacity compared to the conventional system after considering about 10 % of parasitic power requirement from fan and pump usage. | |
