LDCS (Liquid desiccant cooling systems), capable of achieving dehumidification and cooling with low-grade heat input, can be effectively used for treating fresh air in hot and humid regions. These can also be operated using non-concentrating solar collectors. The present study is concerned with...

Membrane based indirect contact liquid desiccant dehumidification technology subsides the serious concern of liquid desiccant droplet carryover observed in conventional direct contact liquid desiccant systems. In the membrane contactor the air and liquid desiccant streams flow in alternate...

Owing to the stringent indoor air quality (IAQ) requirements and high cost of desiccants, one of the major concerns in liquid desiccant technology has been the carryover, which can be eliminated through indirect contact between desiccant and air. Membrane contactors using microporous...
