Abstract
A hybrid desiccant air conditioning unit is treated as an effective alternative to the conventional air conditioning system due to independent control of humidity, temperature, and eco-friendliness. The decrease in environmental impact and energy saving is more when the desiccant recovered by utilizing “free” thermal energy. This current work has experimented with a performance study of a hybrid desiccant air conditioning unit for typical humid and hot Indian (Aligarh) climatic conditions. Here, the effects of different air inlet temperatures at the process section, i.e. (28, 29.5, 31, 32.5, 34, 35.5 and 37°C) and regeneration section, i.e. (50-58.8°C) and different regeneration air inlet velocities (2.5 and 4.5 m/s) on the performance of hybrid desiccant air conditioning system are analyzed. Thus, optimization of performance parameters i.e. refrigerating effect, heat rejection rate, VCOP, ECOP, compressor work, dehumidification effectiveness, moisture removal capacity, DCOP, regeneration effectiveness and regeneration rate is identified for attaining maximum efficiency of hybrid desiccant air conditioning system under above operating states.
