摘要：

A solar powered air conditioning system using liquid desiccant is proposed. A solar air heater OF containing a porous material is used for regeneration purpose in the proposed system. The honeycomb desiccant rotary wheel is constructed from iron wire and clothes layer impregnated with calcium chloride solution, in honeycomb form, is utilized for the regeneration and absorption processes. The effect of airflow rate and solar radiation intensity on the system regeneration and absorption processes are studied. The obtained results show that the system is highly effective in the regeneration process. An empirical equation to calculate the removed moisture as a function of air flow rate at solar noon is obtained. Also empirical equation for wheel effectiveness as a function of air flow rate for regeneration and absorption process was obtained. (C) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
