Investigation on an air solar-driven open sorption system for comfort cooling

An air solar-driven open sorption system for comfort cooling is investigated experimentally in an indoor test facility. The main components of the are a solar dehumidifier and cold storage with desiccant. One operation cycle 36 h. On first day cycle, charged. At night charged on two, discharged. A material investigation undertaken to find most suitable desiccant both components, including samples different silica gels zeolites. scope this work determine usability performance system. addressed by climatic conditions fourteen locations. It shown that small porous gel best storage, can well eight climates, supply cool, dry buildings.
