Applications/Examples of results

The desiccant air conditioning system is a system that uses desiccants (dehumidifiers) as a medium, and when adopted as a dehumidification method, it does not require the cooling dehumidification applied by conventional air conditioning systems, making it possible to supply comfortable air with appropriate temperature and humidity indoors without providing overly cooled air. Additionally, compared to absorption chillers, which have a similar operating principle, the system becomes simpler. However, when used alone, its performance is comparable to or below that of absorption chillers, and due to reasons such as equipment durability and high costs, it has not yet become widespread in the market. However, compact dehumidifiers for home use, rather than as air conditioning systems, have become widely utilized. On the other hand, to enable so-called latent and sensible heat separation air conditioning, hybrid systems that combine with compression heat pumps or completely integrate the equipment have emerged. In this case, the desiccant air conditioning system can convert latent heat into sensible heat, eliminating the need for cooling dehumidification or reheating by the compression heat pump, and reports suggest that it can significantly improve system efficiency by about 50%.
