研究液体除湿空调在整个冷却季节的性能。计算机模拟表明，液体干燥剂系统具有非常高的季节性性能系数（COP）。对于使用双效锅炉的液体干燥剂系统，通过充分利用蒸发冷却并仅提供满足建筑物负荷所需的最小潜在冷却，可实现从潮湿位置（休斯顿）的1.44到干燥位置（凤凰城）的2.24的COP。这将尽可能减少干燥剂吸收的水量，从而减少再生干燥剂所需的热能。在潜热负荷非常高的应用中，例如处理保持良好室内空气质量所需的大量通风空气，液体干燥剂空调再次比蒸汽压缩设备具有优势。 在这项研究中，液体干燥剂系统是建模的，只对亚特兰大一栋办公楼的通风空气进行冷却和除湿。尽管处理的气流仅占输送至建筑物的总空气的25%，但液体干燥剂系统能够满足建筑物52%的季节性冷却要求，并将建筑物的峰值电力需求减少约47%。关键词:1995年，性能，干燥剂，单元空调，相对湿度，冷却，建筑物，除湿，节能，比较，效率，热交换器，吸收器，通风，冷负荷，耗电量，性能系数。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1995年，第101卷，第一部分，论文编号CH-95-1-11525-527

Studies the performance of liquid-desiccant air conditioners during an entire cooling season. The computer modelling shows that liquid-desiccant systems can have a very high seasonal coefficient of performance (COP). For a liquid-desiccant system that uses a double-effect boiler, COPs ranging from 1.44 in a humid location (Houston) to 2.24 in a dry location (Phoenix) are achieved by fully exploiting evaporative cooling and providing only the minimum latent cooling needed to meet the loads on the building. This minimises the amount of water absorbed by the desiccant and, hence, the amount of thermal energy needed to regenerate it. In applications where latent heat loads are very high, such as processing the high volumes of ventilation air required to maintain good indoor air quality, the liquid-desiccant air conditioner again has an advantage over vapour-compression equipment. In this study, a liquid-desiccant system is modelled that cools and dehumidifiers only the ventilation air of an office building in Atlanta. Although processing an air-stream that is only 25% of the total air delivered to the building, the liquid-desiccant system is able to meet 52% of the building's seasonal cooling requirements and reduce the building's peak electrical demand by about 47%.KEYWORDS: year 1995, performance, desiccants, unit air-conditioners, relative humidity, cooling, buildings, dehumidifying, energy conservation, comparing, efficiency, heat exchangers, absorbers, ventilation, cooling load, electricity consumption, coefficient of performance.
