Funded Activity Summary

Dehumidification and cooling driven by solar/waste heat using liquid desiccants. The provision of comfort cooling is responsible for a considerable and increasing portion of the world energy demand and electricity peak demand. To substitute electrically driven vapour compression machines with their high electrical energy consumption and especially high peak loads, the use of solar energy or waste heat for a cooling and dehumidification system driven by liquid desiccants is a promising opportunity. The project utilises the complementary strengths in the research groups to develop practical and economically feasible cooling/dehumidification systems for different types of buildings with different moisture removal and cooling requirements at different locations (Australia, Southern Europe).
