| Abstract: | The research reported here is an experimental study to determine the performance and economics of an alternative to presently available heat-driven cooling cycles. This alternative, called desiccant cooling, uses a drying agent (desiccant) to remove almost all of the moisture from outside air. In this work, the absorber, which is the particular part of the desiccant system that brings the air in contact with the desiccant while simultaneously providing cooling, has been tested. The results are compared with previously done computer models of the absorber behavior. The projected economics of the system are also examined, and the system is found to show promise against projected deregulated conventional energy costs. |
