Abstract
Using solar energy for cooling purposes is an attractive idea with good prospects for conventional air conditioning systems. The replacement of compressor cooling systems by solar driven desiccant cooling systems could make an important contribution to environmental protection. The main argument for the applicability of solar energy is that cooling loads are approximately in phase with solar availability. The “desiccant cooling” technology is innovative in the field of refreshing atmosphere using state changes of water and operating with solar energy. The present work involves the study of an evaporative cooling system by desiccation coupled with a solar installation, reducing thereby energy consumption and using clean and free energy. The results show that the system can control moisture and therefore provide acceptable comfort conditions, confirming that it is suitable for wet areas such as coastal cities of our country.
