- Abstract:
- A new type of liquid desiccant water chiller for applications on air-conditioning and refrigeration is introduced.The system can be driven by low-grade heat sources with temperatures of 60 to 80 ℃, which can be easily obtained by a flat plat solar collector, waste heat, etc.A numerical model is developed to study the system performance.The effects of different parameters on performance are discussed, including evaporating temperature, regenerating temperature, ambient condition, and mass flow rates of closed moist air and regenerating air.The results show that an acceptable performance of a cooling capacity of 2.5 kW and a coefficient of performance of 0.37 can be achieved in a reference case.The regenerating temperature and the humidity ratios of ambient air are two main factors affecting system performance, while the temperature of ambient air functions less.In addition, the mass flow rate of regenerating air and closed moist air should be carefully determined for economical operation.
