ABSTRACT
The need for moving away from
traditional energy sources and to find alternate energy sources is undoubtedly
one of the primary objectives for a sustainable progress to humankind. The
design and construction of buildings in hot-humid climates requires high energy
consumption typically for air conditioning due to higher thermal loads. In the
Gulf Region, there is a rising concern on the current rate of energy
consumption due to air conditioning, i.e. two thirds of domestic electrical
loads. Considering the wider impacts of carbon emissions on our climate, and
the need to reduce these emissions, effective energy efficiency solutions are
necessary in order to achieve the overall goal of reducing carbon emissions.
This paper presents the performance of the “All in One” fully integrated solar
desiccant air conditioning system. The superefficient air conditioning system
can provide 1,000 to 2,000 litre/s treated
fresh air at supply temperature of 16 °C with 60% reduction in energy consumption compared
to conventional systems. The system is locally manufactured and installed.
KEYWORDS
Solar cooling, desiccant dehumidification, absorption chillers.
