- Abstract
- The main objective of this study was to develop a thermoelectric heat pump and liquid desiccant system based on a dedicated outdoor air system (THPLD-DOAS). An internally-cooled and -heated liquid desiccant system was used and a thermoelectric heat pump (THP) served as the desiccant cooling and heating energy source for dehumidification and regeneration of the desiccant solution, respectively. In order to investigate the energy-saving potential of the proposed system, its thermal performance and operating energy consumption during the cooling season were compared to those of a conventional dedicated outdoor air system with a ceiling radiant cooling panel system (DOAS-CRCP). Detailed simulations for each system were conducted under hot and humid climatic conditions. Their thermal performance under various room sensible heat factor (RSHF) conditions was evaluated to observe the energy performance, depending on the dehumidification performance, of the liquid desiccant system integrated with the THP. The results showed that the coefficient of performance (COP) of the THP ranged from 0.8 to 1.2 to maintain a sufficient dehumidification rate. The operating energy of the THPLD of the proposed system was 6.6% to 16.0% less than that of the chiller operating energy of a conventional DOAS. Consequently, the proposed system consumed 0.6-23.5% less operating energy compared to the conventional DOAS.
