Abstract
A desiccant cooling system includes a desiccant cooler including a desiccant cooling path through which air introduced from the outside passes, a desiccant dehumidifier on the desiccant cooling path to pass through air and remove humidity of the air, and a water cooling portion cooling cooling water by using the low-humidity air that has passed through the desiccant dehumidifier; and a vapor compression cooling device including a water cooled condenser disposed to be cooled by the cooling water cooled by the water cooling portion so as to condense a refrigerant flowing inside the water cooled condenser, wherein the refrigerant is circulated in the water cooled condenser.
Claims20
A desiccant cooling system comprising:
- a desiccant cooler including a desiccant cooling path through which air passes,
- a desiccant dehumidifier on the desiccant cooling path to pass through air and remove humidity of the air, and
- a water cooling portion disposed in a lower stream side of the desiccant dehumidifier to cool water by using the low-humidity air that has been dehumidified by passing through the desiccant dehumidifier;
- and
- a vapor compression cooling device including a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant, a water cooled condenser disposed to be cooled by the cooling water cooled by the water cooling portion so as to condense the refrigerant that is compressed by the compressor and flows inside the water cooled condenser, and an expansion valve configured to expand the refrigerant condensed by the water cooled condenser, and an evaporator configured to evaporate the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve and transfer the refrigerant to the compressor,
- wherein the refrigerant is circulated in the water cooled condenser,
- the evaporator is disposed outside the desiccant cooler in order to supply cooling an indoor space, and
- the air of the desiccant cooling path is discharged from the desiccant cooling path toward outside of the desiccant cooler after passing through the water cooling portion.
A desiccant cooling system comprising:
- a desiccant cooler including a desiccant cooling path through which air passes,
- a desiccant dehumidifier disposed on the desiccant cooling path and allowing air to pass through and removing humidity of the air, and
- a regenerative vapor cooling portion disposed in a lower stream side of the desiccant dehumidifier to cool a refrigerant via a low-humidity air that has been dehumidified by passing through the desiccant dehumidifier;
- and
- a vapor compression cooling device comprising a compressor configured to compress the refrigerant, an expansion valve configured to expand the refrigerant condensed by the regenerative evaporative cooling portion, and
- an evaporator configured to evaporate the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve and transfer the refrigerant to the compressor,
- wherein the air of the desiccant cooling path is discharged from the desiccant cooling path toward outside of the desiccant cooler after passing through the regenerative vapor cooling portion.
