摘要
A forced flow solar collector/regenerator is one of the effective ways of regenerating the weak liquid solution in an open cycle liquid desiccant air conditioner using solar energy. In this system, the weak solution flows over the absorber plate of a tilted collector/regenerator as a thin liquid film. The forced air stream. which flows parallel or counter to the solution film, removes the moisture which is evaporated from the liquid solution due to absorption of solar energy. The absorber plate of the collector/regenerator is blackened and glazed to enhance the solar energy absorption and protect it from the environment. To evaluate the thermal performance of the solar collector/regenerator, a computer model has been developed using calcium chloride as the desiccant. A parametric analysis of the system has been performed to calculate the rate of evaporation of water from the solution as a function of the system variables and the climatic conditions.
