Cooling Performance of Desiccant type Air-conditioner with self-supplied water

Abstract

The performance of evaporative cooling system with self -supplied water wasexamine experimentally. Humid air was dehumidified through the desiccant dehumidifier and the air was cooled again by evaporation of the condensate that was condensed in the high temperature heat exchanger. Principle of the system was confirmed by this experiment. The amount of condensate was sufficient for evaporative cooling for low humidity condition. While, the condensate was not enough for high humidcondition.
