由天然气源在高温下再生的干燥剂冷却系统是蒸汽压缩冷却系统的高性能替代品。在再循环模式下运行的燃气冷却系统的性能通过使用不同的干燥剂材料进行建模来优化。研究的设计和操作参数包括再生过程中加热的转轮部分（称为“分级再生部分”）、再生温度、吸附时间（与转轮转速成反比）和干燥剂吸湿率。记录的性能结果包括最佳系统性能系数（COP）和冷却能力，以及操作条件、分级再生分数和最佳吸附时间。在循环模式下运行的系统性能也与在通风模式下运行的优化设计系统的性能进行了比较。 关键词:计算、燃气、干燥剂、冷却、空调、蒸发冷却器、性能、天然气、吸收率、性能系数、比较、通风、湿度、优化引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1991年，第97卷，第2部分

Desiccant cooling systems regenerated at high temperatures by a natural gas source are a high-performance alternative to vapour-compression cooling systems. The performance of a gas-fired cooling system operating in the recirculation mode is optimised by modelling, using different desiccant materials. Design and operating parameters investigated include the fraction of the wheel that is heated in regeneration, termed the "staged regeneration fraction," the regeneration temperature, the sorption time (inversely proportional to wheel rpm), and desiccant moisture uptake. Performance results documented include the optimum system coefficient of performance (COP) and cooling capacity along with operating conditions, staged regeneration fraction, and sorption time corresponding to the optimum. The performance of the system operating in the recirculating mode is also compared to the performance of an optimally designed system operating in the ventilation mode.KEYWORDS: calculating, gas fired, desiccants, cooling, air conditioning, evaporative coolers, performance, natural gas, absorptivity, coefficient of performance, comparing, ventilation, moisture, optimisation
