Paper No 941 – Design and energy performance of the heat pump-driven liquid desiccant system with an ultrasonic atomization – 14th IEA Heat Pump Conference, Chicago, USA
The purpose of this study was to propose and design the heat pump-driven liquid desiccant ventilation system with an ultrasonic atomization. The energy consumption was also compared with the conventional heat pumpdriven liquid desiccant system. Because the proposed system could be operated at low solution flow rate than the reference system, the proposed system was suggested for energy benefits. The results indicated that the two systems showed similar heat pump cycle such as temperature of the evaporator and condenser. However, heat pump size could be reduced in the proposed system because of the low solution loads compared with the reference system. Finally, the proposed system could be operated with 30% reduced energy consumption during the summer season than the reference system.
