Advanced Solar Driven Desiccant Cooling Systems for Central European and Mediterranean Climates

Objective

The basic objective of this proposal is to remove the main technical barriers for a market introduction of desiccant cooling (DEC) systems driven by solar thermal energy. The scientific and technical objectives are divided into two fields.

The objectives in the field of solar air conditioning (AC) based on solid sorption technology are, to develop:
- optimised system configurations compatible to specific conditions (climate, load, solar and backup heat source);
- standardised system control maximising indoo comfort at minimised primary energy consumption;
- a computer based design tool that includes economic assessment for solar AC based on solid sorption DEC-systems and to *identify cost reduction potentials for solar assisted AC. The objectives in the field of solar air conditioning based on liquid sorption are:
- Development of a new solar assisted AC system based on liquid sorption technology for the combined dehumidification and cooling of air;
- Implementation of a direct regeneration.
