Figure 6 Cooling Capacities of HSDVC in mode1
Using Figure 6, the average cooling capacities for vapor compression air conditioning systems at ambient humidity ratios of 21,22, and 28 gkg-1d.a is 20.5 kW, 22 kW, and 28 kW respectively. But when the air conditioning system is made to run in hybrid cooling mode with a solid desiccant system operated in mode 1, the average cooling capacities are 6 kW, 6.7 kW, and 9 kW respectively for the same ambient humidity ratios. So the solid desiccant cooling system gives a net reduction in cooling capacities of 13.5 kW, 15.5 kW, and 19 kW. The reductions in cooling capacities are significant by the solid desiccant-vapor compression air conditioner hybrid cooling system.
