A coupled system of two liquid desiccant columns—one dehumidifying the air and the other regenerating the solution—has been investigated for very low solution to air flow ratios (S/A) in the range of 0.2–1.6%. The present study explores the feasibility of integrating the columns with the...

An analysis of a metal hydride-based system for simultaneous heat transformation and refrigeration is presented. A six-reactor configuration comprising of three different hydriding alloys has been considered taking account of the coupled heat and mass transfer in the reactors. The influence of...
