Thermal performance of a novel air conditioning system using a liquid desiccant

A new air conditioning system using a liquid desiccant and needle impeller rotors has been modelled. Experimental data obtained for different components, i.e., evaporators and absorber, were used in the model. System performance was quantified through the definition of thermal coefficient of performance. Simulation results show the effect of different system parameters: ambient temperature, ambient humidity and heat exchanger efficiency.
