The regenerator is one of the essential components in a liquid desiccant air-conditioning system, whose efficiency directly influences the system performance. A performance test-bed for a cross-flow regenerator was established in the present analysis. Celdek structured packings were used in the...

The regenerator is one of the key components in liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems, in which desiccant is concentrated and can be reused in the system. The regeneration heat is supplied into the regenerator by either hot air or hot desiccant. The heat and mass transfer performances of...

Dehumidifier is one of the essential components in liquid desiccant air-conditioning system, whose hourly performance is required to predict the annual energy consumption of the system. Model complexity and the required amount of computer time usually do not permit the use of models based on a...

International trade and the market demand for pre-prepared agricultural produce is not only increasing the total quantity of waste agricultural biomass but also centralising its availability, making it potentially useful for energy production. The current work considers the suitability of...
