Heat pump device and desiccant assisted air conditioning system

A desiccant assisted air conditioning system having a heat pump section and a desiccant assisted air conditioning section, wherein said heat pump section comprises:

• an absorber for absorbing a refrigerant vapor in an absorption fluid;
• a desorber for separating said refrigerant vapor from said absorption fluid;
• a compressor for compressing said refrigerant vapor;
• an absorption fluid passage for circulating said absorption fluid between said absorber and said desorber;
• a refrigerant compression passage for transporting a refrigerant vapor produced in said desorber to said absorber by way of said compressor;
• and
• said desiccant assisted air conditioning section comprises:
• a process air passage for flowing process air;
• a regeneration air passage for flowing regeneration air;
• a desiccant device communicable with both said process air passage and said regeneration air passage;
• and
• heat medium passages for transferring output heat generated by said absorber to pre-desiccant regeneration air, and transferring input heat required by said desorber from post-desiccant process air.
