<strong>IEA</strong> SHC Task 38 <strong>Solar</strong> Air Conditioning <strong>and</strong> Refriger<strong>at</strong>ion Subtask C1 Report, 31 October 2010<br />

Figure 31: Desiccant cooling install<strong>at</strong>ion with corresponding evolution of moist air properties<br />

in the psychrometric chart.<br />

5.1.1 Advantages<br />

The main advantages of the desiccant cooling system are the following:<br />

• The minimum required driving temper<strong>at</strong>ure is 50°C which makes the coupling to solar<br />

collector a very interesting option.<br />

• Different oper<strong>at</strong>ing modes can be used depending on load conditions. This allows<br />

oper<strong>at</strong>ions on partial loads while storing solar energy for peak loads.<br />

• The use of electricity is limited to the auxiliaries.<br />

• The process uses w<strong>at</strong>er as a refrigerant.<br />
