An Innovative Smart Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioning System for Indoor and Outdoor Cooling using Seawater Bittern

Parametric Analysis of a Rotary Type Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioning System

Now days, air conditioning systems are a must for almost every commercial and residential building to achieve comfortable indoor conditions. The increasing energy demand, and increasing oil prices and pollution levels raise the need for alternative air conditioning systems which can efficiently utilize renewable energy resources. The liquid desiccant-based air conditioning method is pollution f...

A Smart-Phone Indoor/Outdoor Localization System

This paper depicts the operation of an integrated system designed for both outdoor and indoor localization, with special emphasis on the latter. It is demonstrated how three different methods of localization can be combined, based on WiFi access points and mobile cells. Not only there is no need to know the exact location of the access points to start using the system, but it also self-improves...

Improving the Quality of the Indoor Environment Utilizing Desiccant-Assisted Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Systems

Energy Saving Potential of a Thermoelectric Heat Pump-Assisted Liquid Desiccant System in a Dedicated Outdoor Air System

The main objective of this study was to develop a thermoelectric heat pump and liquid desiccant system based on a dedicated outdoor air system (THPLD-DOAS). An internally-cooled and -heated liquid desiccant system was used and a thermoelectric heat pump (THP) served as the desiccant cooling and heating energy source for dehumidification and regeneration of the desiccant solution, respectively. ...

A Statistical Analysis of Desiccant Dehumidifier for Air Conditioning Application

Due to the direct utilization of thermal energy and possibility of using renewable energy resources, the interest of using desiccant wheels for air-conditioning application is increasing rapidly. The thermally driven desiccant cooling systems are environmental friendly and has a great potential to reduce the peak electricity demand.
