Conventional air conditioning (AC) systems provide simultaneous sensible and latent
cooling. This requires air to be cooled below its dew point temperature resulting in low …

Membrane-based liquid desiccant air dehumidification (MLDAD) is a separation process
driven by the vapor pressure difference. Different from the conventional liquid desiccant air …

The sky is a natural heat sink that has been extensively used for passive radiative cooling of
households. A lot of focus has been on maximizing the radiative cooling power of roof …

Radiative cooling can effectively reduce energy consumption for building applications. As a
passive cooling technology, a radiative cooling system radiates heat into space via infrared …

Buildings account for about 39% of the total energy consumption in the United States.
Developing highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly systems that are either …

Air conditioners (ACs) use an enormous amount of energy as they are widely used to
provide people with favorable indoor conditions. In recent years, liquid desiccants have …

Humidity control plays a vital role in both buildings and greenhouses. The thermally-driven
liquid desiccant dehumidification systems are getting an increasing traction because of their …

This study proposes a liquid desiccant dehumidification system combined with shallow
geothermal energy. Calcium chloride solution is adopted as a desiccant that is sprayed …

Increasing cooling demands in the built environment call for innovative technical solutions
and systems for application in buildings. Cooling loads represent an important share of the …

Heat driven sorption technologies are promising alternatives to traditional vapour
compression based systems for comfort cooling. High latent heat load applications and …
