Adsorptive hybrid desiccant cooling system

#This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0047587, filed on Apr. 12, 2017, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

#One or more embodiments relate to an adsorptive hybrid desiccant cooling system, and more particularly, to an adsorptive hybrid desiccant cooling system capable of remarkably reducing power consumption.

#Electric hybrid desiccant cooling technology improves cooling output by adding an electric heat pump to a desiccant cooling system, and enhances energy efficiency by using less regeneration heat by using the arrangement of the heat pump in preheating the regeneration air of the desiccant cooling system. However, as more power is used by a compressor for driving the electric heat pump, total power consumption may actually increase compared to basic desiccant air-conditioning.

#These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

#FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a structure of an adsorptive hybrid desiccant cooling system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;

#FIG. 2 is a schematic conceptual diagram of a first operational example of the adsorptive hybrid desiccant cooling system illustrated in FIG. 1; and

#Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects of the present description.

#Since the present disclosure may have various modifications and several embodiments, exemplary embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail. Advantages, features, and a method of achieving the same will be specified with reference to the embodiments described below in detail together with the attached drawings. However, the embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein.

#An expression used in the singular form encompasses the expression in the plural form, unless it has a clearly different meaning in the context. In the present specification, it is to be understood that the terms such as “including” or “having”, etc., are intended to indicate the existence of the features or components disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to preclude the possibility that one or more other features or components may added.
