A Review on Desiccant Dehumidification Assisted Air-Conditioning System

The current article describes about construction and working of desiccant assisted various cooling technologies. The contribution of the building sector to the above problem so as to maintain indoor environment providing human thermal comfort is prone area for the future research. In the present review, the alternative cooling methods for the provision of the human thermal comfort through desiccant dehumidification and cooling technologies are discussed. These technologies are potential alternatives to the conventionally used mechanical vapor compression cooling technologies in the provision of human thermal comfort conditions. However, the development and application is mostly in developed and advanced developing countries. For a global scale solution to the problem of energy and environment contributed by the building air-conditioning sector for the maintenance of comfortable conditions, dissemination of ideas and technologies to the developing countries enhances the applicability and practicability of these technologies in building cooling sector.
