Abstract
This paper presents the effect of changes in operating parameters on the solid desiccant air conditioning system performance. It has consisted of the regeneration temperature and the regeneration airflow velocity parameters. These parameters were examined in two operation modes, the former ranging from 2 m/s–0.83 m/s at constant regeneration temperature, and the latter ranging from 75°C–46.4°C at constant regeneration airflow velocity. The results indicate a smaller decline in dehumidification performance for the constant regeneration temperature operating mode than the constant airflow velocity operating mode. On the contrary, the system performance and the recovery energy ratio at the latter operating mode gives a higher value than the former operating mode. These results suggest that when the dehumidification performance becomes the main function in the system, the regeneration airflow velocity should not be too low to avoid a significant reduction in system performance.
