Abstract
Hot and humid areas such as South East Asia require dehumidification and cooling to provide thermal comfort both in residential and commercial buildings. Conventional vapour compression refrigeration systems can provide these conditions using electrical energy. However, conventional refrigerants such as CFCs or HFCs have been banned as they are greenhouse gases. The liquid desiccant cooling system is an alternative which has the potential to replace conventional cooling systems. This system is thermally driven and can use a variety of low-temperature thermal heat sources such as solar energy or waste heat from other sources. It can reduce the peak electrical load due to its design. It is simple to produce, operate and maintain. This research aims to examine the potential of using a solar liquid desiccant cooling system for dehumidification/cooling of dwellings in hot and humid regions. A reference house was modelled and simulated with a solar liquid desiccant cooling and dehumidification system under Bangkok, Thailand climatic conditions.
