Abstract :
This paper discuss the feasibility of using desiccant cooling cycle which combine sorptive dehumidification with heat recovery to create a cooling process in hot and humid area. The performance of the desiccant cooling system component has been determined previously. The result of the simulation shows that such system is a feasible solution for cooling buildings in hot-humid region.
