With independent temperature and humidity control, desiccant air-conditioning (DAC)
systems have multi-aspect advantages (eg, high-efficiency moisture control, no ozone …

Solar desiccant cooling systems, SDEC, could be an effective alternative to conventional
cooling systems, which mainly depend on electrical energy. The main objective of this work …

Abstract A Low Concentrating Photovoltaic Thermal system typically employs compound
parabolic concentrator to focus sunlight and enhance the quality of both thermal and …

Low latitude isolated islands have the climate characteristic of high temperature and high
humidity, but in short of conventional energy. This study proposes a novel hybrid solar …

As a novel energy-conservative ventilation system for buildings, a dedicated outdoor air
system (DOAS) assisted by a vacuum-based membrane dehumidifier is proposed, and its …

The utilization of photovoltaic (PV) cells has greatly expanded due to the simplicity of
technology and cheapness compared to other solar technologies. However, due to the …

Desiccant dehumidification systems, such as those using desiccant wheels (DW), are an

The symptoms associated to the occurrence of typical faults in a heating, ventilation and air-
conditioning (HVAC) system, including a single duct dual fan constant air volume air …

Lead-acid batteries utilised in electrical substations release hydrogen and oxygen when
these are charged. These gases could be dangerous and cause a risk of fire if they are not …

In this paper two solar electric-driven air conditioning systems are compared and analyzed
from an energy and environmental point of view. Both systems satisfy the electricity, space …
