  • Desiccant air conditioning methods and systems using evaporative chiller
    Patent number: 9429332
    Abstract: A desiccant air conditioning system for treating an air stream entering a building space includes a conditioner, an air treatment unit, and a regenerator. The air treatment unit acts as an evaporative chiller in a warm weather operation mode to cool heat transfer fluid used in the conditioner. The evaporative chiller receives at least a portion of a dehumidified air stream exiting the conditioner and heat transfer fluid from the conditioner, and causes the portion of the dehumidified air stream to absorb water from a water source and thereby cool the heat transfer fluid. The regenerator receives liquid desiccant from the conditioner and absorbs water from the liquid desiccant.

  • Methods and systems for desiccant air conditioning
    Patent number: 9273877
    Abstract: A desiccant air conditioning system for cooling an air stream entering a building space includes a conditioner and a regenerator. The conditioner includes structures arranged in a substantially vertical orientation that are spaced apart from each other with an air stream gap between each pair of adjacent structures. Each structure has a surface facing an air stream gap across which a liquid desiccant can flow. The air stream flows through the air stream gaps between the structures such that the liquid desiccant dehumidifies the air stream. Each structure further includes a separate desiccant collector at a lower end of the surface for collecting liquid desiccant that has flowed across the surface of the structure. The desiccant collectors are spaced apart from each other to permit airflow therebetween. A photovoltaic-thermal module heats a heat transfer fluid used to heat the liquid desiccant in the regenerator.

  • Methods and systems for desiccant air conditioning
    Patent number: 9243810
    Abstract: A desiccant air conditioning system treats an air stream entering a building space. The system includes a conditioner having multiple structures arranged in a substantially vertical orientation, each having at least one surface across which a liquid desiccant can flow. The air stream flows through or between the structures such that the liquid desiccant dehumidifies the air stream in a warm weather operation mode and humidifies the air stream in a cold weather operation mode. Each structure further includes a desiccant collector at a lower end of the at least one surface for collecting liquid desiccant that has flowed across the at least one surface of the structure. A regenerator receives liquid desiccant from the desiccant collectors in the conditioner and causes the liquid desiccant to desorb water in the warm weather operation mode and to absorb water in the cold weather operation mode.
