摘要：
This study deals about the investigation of a solar-powered desiccant dehumidification system coupled with variable frequency drive (VFD). The proposed design of the system consists of two evaporative air coolers. One cooler performs as an absorber and the other one as desiccant regenerator coupled with a solar water heater. The VFD is connected with the first evaporative air cooler. In this work, using solar energy, a zeolite is regenerated as part of the investigation. Regeneration cycle for hot water absorption is explained and analysed. A simple expression for the cycle is proposed. System efficiency is derived with consideration of flow of work and heat to and from the system. The operating concentration of desiccant used greatly affected regeneration temperature limits and mass of strong solution for unit mass of vapour produced.
