Abstract
Low temperature drying is a slow drying process with air heated only a few degrees. This paper proposes a low temperature drying system using liquid desiccants which finds widespread application in humid tropics. A packed bed tower is used in the analysis to carry out dehumidification process. During this process, due to latent heat the air is warmed up and dried. The governing equations are solved to study the performance of this process and presented in this paper. The weak desiccant can be regenerated using solar energy and the concentrated desiccant can be used as the storage medium during cloudy days and at nights. (A)
