Abstract

This paper discusses an open cycle solar space cooling system suitable for hot, humid climates. The proposed method is based on dehumidification of air by using a liquid absorbent followed by adiabatic evaporative cooling. One of the major advantages of this system is that the required temperature of 60-75 degree C for regeneration of absorbent solution can be easily obtained by using a simple device, solar collector with regenerator. In this paper the concept, design and cycle analysis of such a system is described.
