Thermodynamic Analysis of Year Round Air-Conditioning System

The analysis of performance of year round air conditioning system depends mainly on the performance of the desiccant wheel, evaporative cooler, heating coil and cooling coil. The variation in dry bulb temperature and specific humidity of room supply air with input parameters such as air mass flow rate, dry bulb temperature (DBT) and relative humidity of ambient air, percentage mixing of re-circulated air, cooling load capacity or room total heat outlet, room sensible heat factor, by pass factor, rotational speed of desiccant wheel and regeneration temperature of desiccant wheel are shown for all weather condition viz. hot and dry, hot and wet, cool and dry and cool and wet. The important salient conclusions drawn from above mentioned parameters are discussed in length in this present book.
