摘要：

In this paper, three novel desiccant evaporative cooling system configurations are proposed, simulated and compared with the conventional system under a wide range of ambient air temperature (30: 40 degrees C) and humidity ratio (0.01: 0.02 kg(v) kg(a)(-1)). In configuration-I, a direct/indirect evaporative cooling is inserted before the rotating heat exchanger. However, it is inserted after the rotating heat exchanger for system configuration-II. In configuration-III, an extra direct/indirect evaporative cooling is added in an opposite manner. Validation results confirm that, simulation and experimental results are in a good agreement with average errors of 2.23 and 3.87% for ambient air temperature and humidity ratio, respectively. Energetic analysis revealed that configuration-I has the highest cooling capacity while configuration-III has the highest thermal COP and air handling COP. Exergetic efficiency of config-III is higher than the conventional system with 54% as average value over the range of ambient air humidity. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd and IIR. All rights reserved.
