Ferasibility study of desiccant air-conditioning system in Thailand

The investigation of the performance and energy saving of dessicant air-conditioning system was the aim of that study. That type of sytem is well-known in thailand, it is composed of a silica gel bed, a split type air-conditioner, air ducts and a blower. For that experimental analysis, tests were conducted during several days with relatively similar ambient conditions. The percentages of return air, outdoor air , indoor air mixed to the air leaving the dessicant and dessicant bed thickness have been adjusted. The results of that simple economic analysis are presented.
