STUDY ON LIQUID DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFICATION AND REGENERATION PROCESS – REVIEW ARTICLE

Cooling demand for India increases to 8- 11 times the present year within a decade. Energy requirement for meeting the cooling demand also increases which lead to more consumption of non- renewable resources & emission related to it. Performances of cooling system have to improve to reduce the energy consumption. Upon usage of the low grade heat and improved effectiveness in dehumidification, the liquid desiccant dehumidification technology is becoming more popular nowadays. By this technology air conditioning systems have been developed which is energy efficient, also demonstrated superiority over the traditional vapour compression system due to the controlling of temperature and humidity ratio independently.
