基于干燥剂的燃气冷却系统是传统住宅和商业空间空调和除湿的一种潜在的有吸引力的方法。这项工作的重点是最先进的固体干燥剂冷却系统。描述了此类系统的工作原理和组件，并讨论了每个组件的重要性。介绍了几种操作配置或模式，并给出了每种模式的示例应用。每年进行性能模拟，以评估干燥剂冷却系统在经济空间空调中的潜力。研究了应用类型、气候和操作模式的影响。模拟结果以满足冷负荷、耗气量和性能系数（COP）的形式给出。所有模拟的年度COP均高于ARI设计性能，并显示出经济空间调节的潜力。 研究结果还表明，对新鲜空气有更高要求的应用（无论是通风还是补充空气）的COP最高，因此在初始市场渗透率方面最有希望。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1988年，第94卷，pt。德克萨斯州达拉斯1号

Desiccant-based gas-fired cooling systems are a potentially attractive method for conventional residential and commercial space conditioning and dehumidification. This work focuses on state-of-the-art solid-based desiccant cooling systems. The operating principles and components of such systems are described and the importance of each discussed. Several operating configurations, or modes, are presented, and sample applications for each are given. Annual performance simulations were made to evaluate the potential of desiccant cooling systems for economical space conditioning. The effects of application type, climate, and operating mode were studied. Results of the simulations are presented in the form of cooling load met, gas consumption, and coefficient of performance (COP). Annual COPs for all the simulations are higher than ARI design performance and show potential for economical space conditioning. The results also indicate that applications with larger requirements for fresh air, either in the form of ventilation or makeup air, have the highest COPs and, therefore, have the most promise for initial market penetration.Units: Dual
