Abstract Thermally driven desiccant- and evaporative cooling-based technologies are promising greener cheaper alternatives to compressor-based systems due the separate handling of latent sensible loads. Desiccant air-conditioning (DAC) comprise a desiccant dehumidifier, cooling unit, heat source for regeneration, recovery unit. These components DAC system can be arranged in various ways give di...

• The first report comparing the stability of three different G6PD sample types (normal controls, heterozygous females and deficient individuals) under storage conditions. Specimens with normal activity, both EDTA blood DBS, can be stored at −20 °C for up to 1 year controlled Blood samples from as DBS conditions year. activity in significantly decreased over storage. Accurate measurement glucos...

This report summarizes a research/demonstration project in which a new high school facility was designed and constructed to combine a custom built 230 kW cogeneration package with four integrated active desiccant rooftop (IADR) systems to serve as high-efficiency dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS). The IADR systems were modified to include hot water coils to use the waste heat provided by the...

Effective sub-gingival debridement is crucial to prevent serious systemic infections in hospitalized patients. Lack of compliance and the impracticality of repeated treatment in a short span of time are identified barriers to the performance of full mouth scaling and root planing (SRP). The aim of this randomized study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of the adjunctive a...

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 sampl...

The objective of this study was to modify an existing liquid desiccant and indirect/direct evaporative cooling-assisted 100% outdoor air system (LD-IDECOAS) for humidification operation in winter. energy benefit the desiccant-assisted approach during LD-IDECOAS over conventional method with a steam humidifier evaluated through detailed simulation. enthalpy effectiveness values measured from lab...
