Solid desiccant air-conditioning systems can take care of both the sensible and latent load of a conditioned space, as well as of the fresh air requirements, through the use of thermal energy. The development of desiccant systems, competitive to conventional cooling ones, would require the...

A control strategy for the operation of desiccant air-conditioning systems is proposed in this work. The proposed strategy consists of a basic scenario, while some alternative strategy schemes are also proposed on the basis of the approach adopted for the controlling of the humidifiers or the...
