| Research Abstract |
Recently, desiccant cooling system has attracted our attention, from the point of view of global warming and in order to improve indoor thermal environment. The purpose of this study is to develop high-efficiency desiccant cooling system by using phase change materials with desiccant materials. It is reported that moisture content of silica-gel, phase change temperature of PCM, and temperature and humidity distribution of PCM and silica-gel packed bed were measured. Moreover, effect of PCM on adsorption performance was predicted by numerical simulation.
