Abstract
This paper describes the design, construction and initial experimental performance testing of a novel integrated solar thermal system prototype for the provision of domestic hot water and space heating, and space cooling and dehumidification. The system aims to replace and replicate the performance of conventional reverse-cycle air conditioning and hot water systems and is designed to operate effectively in humid environments, using a, liquid desiccant and direct/ indirect evaporative cooling components. Moisture is removed from the desiccant using a regenerator driven by a solar hot water system, which also provides domestic hot water and space heating. Initial experimental results, for a variety of operating modes and test conditions are shown that successfully demonstrate that an integrated system is able to provide space heating, cooling and dehumidification.
