Abstract
An air-conditioning system for conditioning air by removing heat and moisture from the air and transferring it to the environment, comprising: a dehumidifier (14) that produces dehumidified air and utilizes a liquid desiccant for drying; at least one non-desiccant fluid at a temperature lower than the temperature of the liquid desiccant; and at least one heat exchanger (20) in which the liquid desiccant is cooled by the at least one fluid.
Claims30
A dehumidifier for removing moisture from air to be dried and transferring it to environmental air, comprising:
- liquid desiccant;
- a dehumidifying section;
- a dehumidifying section reservoir of having said at least two reservoirs containing at least some of the liquid desiccant;
- and
- at least one dehumidifying section element;
- wherein each dehumidifying section element moves from the dehumidifying section reservoir to the dehumidifying section, carrying some of the desiccant from the dehumidifying section reservoir with it, which desiccant absorbs moisture from the air to be dried in the dehumidifying section, and the dehumidifying section element then moves back to the dehumidifying section reservoir, carrying the desiccant back to the dehumidifying section reservoir, and wherein the air to be dried moves through the dehumidifying section, and said motion of the air to be dried causes or contributes to causing at least one of the at least one dehumidifying section elements to move.
A regenerator for removing moisture from a desiccant solution and transferring it to environmental air, comprising:
- liquid desiccant;
- a regenerating section;
- a regenerating section reservoir having at least two reservoirs containing at least some of the liquid desiccant;
- and
- at least one regenerating section element;
- wherein each regenerating section element moves from the regenerating section reservoir to the regenerating section, carrying some of the desiccant from the regenerating section reservoir with it, which desiccant gives up moisture to the environmental air in the regenerating section, and the said regenerating section element then moves back to the regenerating section reservoir, carrying the desiccant back to the regenerating section reservoir, and wherein air moves through the regenerating section and said motion of the air causes or contributes to causing at least one of the at least one regenerating section elements to move.
