Abstract
A high efficiency air conditioning system is proposed, in which, while operating on a batch system, desiccant regeneration and process air dehumidification can be carried out simultaneously with a simple configuration. The air conditioning system comprises at least two desiccant members, a process air passage for providing a process air to one of the desiccant members for dehumidification of the process air, and a regeneration air passage for providing a regeneration air to the other of the desiccant members for regeneration of the regeneration air. The desiccant members are movable with respect to the process air passage and the regeneration air passage to alternatingly switch each of the desiccant members from one of the regeneration air passage and the process air passage to another.

A desiccant assisted air conditioning system comprising:
- at least two desiccant members;
- a process air passage for providing a process air to one of said desiccant members for dehumidification of said process air;
- and
- a regeneration air passage for providing a regeneration air to the other of said desiccant members for regeneration of said desiccant members,
- wherein said desiccant members are linearly movable with respect to said process air passage and said regeneration air passage to alternatingly switch each of said desiccant members from one of said regeneration air passage and said process air passage to another.
