Performance and evaluation of desiccant based air conditioning system.IJERA Editor
This Project work presents study and experimental analysis of Desiccant based air conditioning system.The main purpose of this project is to increase the efficency of air conditioning system.In the convenstional air conditioning system cooling coli has two load latent load and sensible load. Cooling has to cool the air and simultaneously to dehumidify it.It increases load on cooling coil and affects performance to the system. To increase the efficiency the air conditioning system desiccant materials are used at the inlet of the air conditioning test rig. Desiccant materials attract moisture based on differences in vapor pressure. Due to their enormous affinity to absorb water and considerable ability to hold water. Due to use of desiccant material load on the cooling coil reduces since moisture is absorbed by desiccant; cooling coil has to take only sensible load. Analysis is done using different desiccant materials and based on the observation, power consumption before and after desiccant is calculated. From this conclusion is made that desiccant material improves the efficiency of air conditioning test rig
Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another in controlled conditions. The work of heat transport is traditionally driven by mechanical work, but can also be driven by heat, magnetism, electricity, laser, or other means. Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A.C., or A/C) is the process of removing heat from a confined space, thus cooling the air, and removing humidity.
Heat Recovery System in Domestic RefrigeratorIjrdt Journal
Refrigeration is a process in which work is done to move heat from one location to another. Refrigeration technology has rapidly evolved in last century from ice harvesting to temperature controlled rail cars. Most widely used current application of refrigeration is for air-conditioning of homes and public buildings. During refrigeration, heat from the refrigerant is dissipated for the successful completion of a refrigeration cycle. In normal household refrigerators, the heat from the refrigerant is removed using a condenser where the refrigerant cools and the air surrounding the condenser heats up. The strategy of how to recover the dissipated heat to develop a waste heat recovery system is relevant. The energy lost in waste heat cannot be fully recovered. However, much of the heat can be recovered and the loss can be minimized by adopting different measures. Hot air can be used for space heating, industrial drying, preheating aspirated air for oil burners, or any other application requiring warm air. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a heat recovery system to recover waste heat from the condenser in the refrigerator and to reuse it for heating application.

Abstract An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the liquid desiccant system performance during dehumidification and humidification processes using air injection through the liquid desiccant solution (Calcium Chloride). The air flows cross the desiccant solution with different air mass flow rates. The system is studied at different operating condition (air flow rate, temperature, humidity ratio and solution levels). The effectiveness of the proposed system for both dehumidification and humidification processes were evaluated. Also, the cooling effect and mass transfer coefficient was obtained. It is found that the system effectiveness reached 0.75 in the dehumidification process and 0.7 in the humidification process. Mass transfer coefficient depends on the air mass flow rate and the desiccant solution level in the tank Economical Results of the presented system is estimated Keywords : Air humidification , Air dehumdificaion, Liquid Desiccant

Experimental Investigation of Water Cooler Test Rig Using R-22 as RefrigerantIJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This paper describes Water Cooler; a tool that aggregates shared internal social media and cross-references it with an organization’s directory. We deployed Water Cooler in a large global enterprise and present the results of a preliminary user study. Despite the lack of complete social networking affordances, we find that Water-Cooler changed users’ perceptions of their workplace, made them feel more connected to each other and the company, and redistributed. Water coolers work on vapour compression refrigeration cycle. The behavior of performance parameters of a simple vapour compression refrigeration system were studied while it’s working under transient conditions occurred during cooling of a fixed mass of brine from initial room temperature to sub-zero refrigeration temperature. The effects of different lengths of capillary tube over these characteristics have also been investigated. The main advantage of our project is to cool the water with help of test rig.

Air conditioning system of car or buses works on principle of vapor absorption cycle of refrigeration VAR . This system reduces the fuel economy of fuel of vehicle. When vehicle moving with air conditioning, it consumes more amount of fuel than vehicle rubs without AC, typically, it consumes 15 to 20 more amount of fuel. Exhaust gases coming from engine of vehicle have temperature ranges to 300 to 400 degree centigrade at full load it carries 25 to 30 of heat supplied by fuel. For A.C. of an automobile, the heat of exhaust gases is utilized to run vapor absorption refrigeration cycle instead of vapour compression refrigeration system. Resulting, it improves fuel economy of A. C. heavy vehicle. In this project try to integrate the vapor absorption refrigeration system with car or bus or heavy vehicle engine exhaust. Comparative study has been carried out when car running with VCR and vapor absorption system of refrigeration. Dr. M.

Regeneration of Liquid Desiccant in Solar Passive Regenerator with Enhanced ...IJMER
Demand for air conditioning is growing, which many times strains the electricity grid. It is
desirable to use technologies like liquid desiccant based air conditioning, which can use waste heat or
solar thermal energy. Solar regeneration has challenges like numerous components, higher parasitic
power and low efficiency. In this work, a solar passive regenerator is developed and used, which has
nominal power consumption for its operation. Its efficiency can be improved significantly by enhanced
glass cooling as demonstrated in this work. The moisture removal rate could be improved by more than
100% with this method. The effect of concentration and solar insolation on moisture removal rate was
also studied in this work
Individual studies on solar chimney and earth air tunnel heat exchanger have been carried out by various
researchers but individual systems are not fulfilling the space heating and cooling demand of buildings. So, integrated
approach of solar chimney and earth air heat exchanger has been studying in this communication. Computational fluid
dynamics software is used for the modelling and simulation studies. The cooling effect is produced by 5.30-6.72 kW at 40°C
ambient temperature and space heating is evaluated as 10.28-14.71 kW at 5°C ambient temperature and 400-1000 W/m2 16
solar radiations. And it is sufficient heating and cooling for buildings at average solar irradiance. The SC-EATHE integrated
system approach produced 18 37% higher heating and cooling effect than the EATHE alone system.
In this communication, simulation studies of a borehole heat exchanger are worked out through computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) software. A two dimensional ( − ) realizable turbulent model with standard wall function is used to
evaluate the temperature variation along with depth of BHE, pitch optimization and to determine the effect of two
dimensionless parameters as ratio of pitch to borehole diameter and ratio of borehole to pipe diameter. The predicted results are
validated through experimental data; and statistical assessment shows a good agreement between simulated and experimental
results. The tube air temperature is proportional to depth in cooling mode and BHE can decrease the temperature of air by
13-14°C when ambient temperature observed by 41°C. The optimised pitch for 8 inch borehole and 2 inch diameter U-tube is
found to be 4 inch, however two U-tubes are recommended for enhanced performance. The effective borehole to tube diameter
ratio is estimated by 4. The BHE system can be used for heating and cooling of buildings it is a feasible solution for
sustainable development.

Biodiesel is considering a clean-burning fuel produced from non edible vegetable oils, or animal fats. It is produced by transesterification of oils with short-chain alcohols or by the esterification of fatty acids. In the present context, bio-diesel is an alternative eco friendly diesel fuel. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made through the experiment of Thumba blended biodiesel on CI engine in laboratory and analyzes its properties and characteristic compare with other biodiesel oils. Five blends B05, B10, B15, B20 and B25 of thumba seed oil biodiesel were papered and it per-formance was evaluated with 7HP four-stroke diesel engine. The performance of thumba seed oil biodiesel were com-pared with biodiesel prepared by mustard, castor and Jatropha seed oil with same blends.
After 1970, road accidents were increased suddenly, mainly due to the increase in the number of
vehicles on the road. The 11% of the world's accidents are happening in India, so we need to think more towards
reducing the accidents and reducing the number of deaths for which the Mobile Communicative Prototype can
play the important role. A survey on 100 peoples is carried out for checking the awareness and rating of the
automobile safety devices. Mobile Communicative Prototype is designed and developed in the project lab and
experimentally investigated the responses. Only after a few seconds of accident, the alert system delivered the
message of the accident to the emergency number, so that the people injured in the accident can get medical help
immediately. The cost of the retrofitting is approximately 100USD, which is very low 1-2% of the cost of the
vehicle. It is also stated that the energy consumption of the retrofit is very low. This can also help in reducing the
speed of vehicles.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Refrigeration is a process of removing heat
from a substance under controlled conditions. Air
conditioning means maintaining the internal
atmospheric conditions for Human Comfort.
Mainly two cycles are generally used for
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning processes,
these are Vapour Compression Refrigeration
(VCR) Cycle and Vapour Absorption Refrigeration
(VAR) Cycle. In Vapour Compression Cycle, a
working substance, refrigerant is used for heat
transfer between Evaporator and Condenser. In
evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs its latent heat

components and compressor is same.
Compressor is used as mechanical energy in
order to change the condition of refrigerant in
Vapour Compression Cycle. In Vapour
Absorption Cycle, we use heat energy to
change the condition of refrigerant. At small
scale, we use evaporative coolers for the
space cooling. These coolers use water as a
refrigerant, which is used for cooling of the air,
and cold air is transferred to the space which
is to be conditioned. The droplets of water
sometimes go with the air and increase the
humidity of air and this is not desirable.
In Vapour Compression System, it is
required that air is to be cooled below its dew
point temperature for dehumidification. This is
the main disadvantage of the Vapour
Compression System because, the cooling of
air below its dew point temperature for
dehumidification results the temperature of air
very low to required temperature. The
combination of Conventional Air Conditioning
System, which operates on closed cycle using
electricity with a desiccant system can controls
both the temperature and humidity within
human comfort range.
In desiccant system, we use desiccant for
the dehumidification of the air for human
comfort. The dehumidification is achieved by
passing the air over the solid desiccant or
through the spray of liquid desiccant. The
desiccant absorbs the moisture from the air and
makes it dry. Thus, the desiccant quantity is
increased and this excess quantity of air is
removed by the regeneration process and is
done by the help of Solar Energy. Solar collector
is used for providing the heat energy for
regeneration process. The pressure drop in
Solid desiccant is high as compared to that of
liquid desiccant. Silica Gel is a good example of
solid desiccant. In solid desiccant system, the
air is passed over the desiccant wheel where it
is dried. The desiccant wheel absorbs moisture
from the air and becomes wet. This absorbed
moisture is removed by other fan. This system
requires large wheel surface area, this results
the desiccant wheel bulky. Thus, this system is
expensive. Liquid desiccant have many
advantages over the solid desiccant mainly the
pressure drop is low as compared to that of
solid desiccant. The regeneration temperature
required for liquid desiccant is lower as
compared to that of solid desiccant. We can do
pre-cooling and pre-heating of desiccant in
liquid desiccant system in the heat exchanger.
Types of liquid desiccant are Calcium Chloride,
Lithium Chloride, Lithium Bromide, etc.
Lithium Chloride works with low pressure
and requires large surface area of heat
exchanger. This results the system expensive.
Calcium Chloride has many advantages over
theLithiumChlorideDesiccant.Itisinexpensive,
non-toxic, non-flammable, etc. Mostly it
doesn’t freeze easily and has strong affinity of
water. The Solar Air Dehumidifier (Liquid
Desiccant) Consists of a absorber and a
regenerator. In absorber the outside air is
passes through a spray of cold desiccant
where it is dried and a weak solution is
generated. This weak solution is pumped to the
regenerator through the indirect-contact
counter-flow heat exchanger with the help of
pump. In regenerator, the weak solution of
desiccant is changed into strong solution by
removing excess amount of moisture by the
Solar Energy and Air.
Experimental studies have been carried out
on liquid-desiccant air conditioner by
Lowenstein et al., in which Lithium Chloride
and water solution was used as desiccant. It
was found that, the minimum pressure drop
was obtained for liquid-desiccant conditioner
compared to other two conditioners and the
temperature of air delivered was lower for the
same conditioner. Madhukeswaran and
Parkash experimentally investigated the effect
of different coatings on performance of flat
plate solar collector. It was found that, the
maximum temperature was obtained for black
chrome coating compared to other two
coatings and the thermal efficiency of collector
was highest for the same coating. They
optimized the tilt angle of the flat plate collector.
Anmim et al. studied the Liquid Desiccant
Dehumidifier with cooling capacity using
compression heat pump system, in which
Lithium Chloride was selected as refrigerant. It
was found that, the water condensation rate
increases with increasing desiccant flow rate,
air inlet humidity ratio and desiccant inlet
concentration. It changes very little with air
inlet temperature and desiccant inlet
temperature. Experimental studies have been
carried out on Evaporative Air Coolers coupled
with Solar Water Heater by Alosaimy, in which
Calcium Chloride and water solution was used
as desiccant. It was found that, desiccant
minimum temperature was proportional to the
humidity potential between the indoor and
outdoor conditions (temperature and humidity).
The experimental results show that, Calcium
Chloride solution with 30% concentration can
be regenerated up to 48% using solar energy.
Bakhtiar et al. experimentally studied liquid-
desiccant air dehumidifier, in which Lithium
Chloride was used as refrigerant. It was found
that, the higher air velocity obtained faster air
dehumidification and the higher desiccant flow
obtained larger effectiveness but effectiveness
was slowly come down after some time of
their experiment.
Kishore and Dilip experimentally analyzed
the liquid desiccant dehumidifier, in which
Calcium Chloride was used as refrigerant. It
was found that, as the regeneration temperature
was increased, moisture absorbing capacity of
air was increased and dehumidification rate in
the absorber was increased. It was found that
moisture removal rate was increased with
increasing in regeneration. The whole study is
clarified that the relative humidity have not
been controlled with solar regeneration system
by any researcher and this factor is very
important for comfort cooling of buildings.
In this communication we experimentally
studied the effect of various parameters that
affect the relative humidity of air for cooling
applications. In this manner we analyzed the
Solar Air Dehumidifier experimentally with the
solar energy, used for regeneration process,
and compare the outcomes of the results with
the standard results.
Classification of Dehumidification
Systems
Conventional Dehumidification System
In conventional dehumidification system,
the air is cooled below its dew point temperature
for removal the moisture from the air. The air is
dehumidified by cooling and condensation. The
moisture removal rate depends upon the
temperature of cooling coil. Lower the
temperature, the air will be drier. This system
consists of evaporator, condenser, compressor
and expansion valve.
Combination of conventional
AC system, which operates
on closed cycle using
electricity with a desiccant
system can controls both the
temperature and humidity...

Desiccant Dehumidification System
The working principle of desiccant
dehumidification system is different from the
Conventional Systems. In the desiccant
dehumidification system, the moisture is
absorbed with the help of desiccant. When the
vapour pressure is low at the surface of the
surface of the desiccant, they attract the
moisture. At that time the vapor pressure
exerted by molecules of water is higher, so the
water molecules enter into the desiccant
thus air becomes dry (this is known as
dehumidification process). In the regeneration
process, the moisture is removed to the air
when the vapour pressure of desiccant is
higher than the air. This system also improves
the quality of conditioned air because we can
use fresh air instead of used air as in
conventional air conditioning.
Solid Desiccant Dehumidifier
In this system, the air is passing over the
desiccant wheel and the wheel adsorbs the
moisture from the air. After adsorption the
wheels becomes wet and the adsorbed
moisture is removed by the help of other fan as
shown in Fig. 1.
Liquid Desiccant Dehumidifier
Working of the liquid desiccant dehumidifier
is almost same to the Solid Desiccant
Dehumidifier which extracts moisture from the
air and rejects to the atmosphere with the help
of regenerator. Outside humid air or return air is
supplied to the dehumidifier where it loses its
moisture to the cool concentrated desiccant
solution and it becomes hot dry, which is
supplied to the conditioned space. Then this
diluted or weak desiccant is heated up with
heater (low grade heat/waste heat can be
used) sprayed in the regenerator. Where its
concentration increases (it becomes strong
solution) after giving its water to the air. And
this air is then exhausted to the atmosphere.
Advantage of Liquid Desiccants over Solid
Desiccants
• Pressure drop is higher in Solid Desiccant
System as compared to the Liquid
Desiccant System.
• The desiccant wheel has large surface and
is bulky too.
• Liquid desiccant can be heated up to dry
off moisture; significant heat may remain
in hot and dried solution. In the case of
solid desiccant system, it is hard to recover
this heat.
Material And Methods
Problem Description
For good air conditioning the air should not
be more humid. Dry air is required for corrosion
protection at military storages, electronic
protection, condensation prevention, ice rinks,
injection mouldings, surface preparations
coatings, comfort cooling in buildings. Our
objective is to minimize the power consumption
and make the air dehumidified for human
comfort. We can use solar energy instead of
electrical energy for regeneration of desiccant.
The heat energy for regeneration is given by the
Flat Plate Solar Collector. Calcium Chloride is
used as a desiccant. It is the cheapest and best
choice for desiccant system. Other advantages
are that it has strong affinity for water and it
doesn’t freeze easily unlike the Magnesium
Chloride brine.
Experimental Setup
An experimental setup is developed in
department of mechanical engineering,
Rajasthan Technical University Kota under
project work. A schematic diagram of
experimental setup is shown in Figure 1.
Where, two identical towers are used as direct
contact type heat exchanger for regeneration
and absorber. The material of tower is fibre
reinforced plastic and height of tower is
120cm. Packing material is used as

polypropylene intalox saddle for a height of
30cm. At the bottom collection tank is provided
for each heat exchanger (tower) which is used
as storage of desiccant. Two centrifugal pumps
are used for pumping the desiccant, having a
maximum discharge of 1000litre/hour.
Desiccant is sprayed in the towers with the
help of nozzle with very fine droplets. For
circulation of desiccant, PVC pipes are used.
Demister pads are used for elimination of
desiccant which is carry over through air
stream. Glass wool is used as insulation
material. The specifications of measuring
devices are given in the above Table 1.
Procedure: In the absorber cooled
desiccant is sprayed on the packing and the
moisture is absorbed from the incoming air
stream. Form the absorber the desiccant is
transfer to the collection tank through the
counter flow indirect contact type heat
exchanger after that it is collected in storage
tank and pumped to the regenerator with the
help of pump. In the regenerator, the excess
moisture is removed by the air and heat
energy. For the heat energy we use solar
energy instead of mechanical energy. The flat
plate solar collector is used for converting
solar energy into thermal energy. It consists
of six copper tubes of 1inch diameter for flow
of fluid and copper plate as absorbing plate.
The dimension of Solar Collector is 3x1x1
feet. At steady state conditions we measured
different measurements from measuring
devices. Thermometer is used for measuring
temperature; humidity is measured using
the hygrometer.
For measurement of concentration of
desiccant, we take samples of desiccant of
100ml. At that temperature its density is
calculated with the help of weighting machine
and the concentration is calculated using the
correlation developed by R Manuel. After
taking the readings for absorber, we take the
readings for regenerator. On the basis of these
readings, moisture removal rate and moisture
absorption rate for absorber and regenerator
is calculated respectively. The effect of
different parameters namely air inlet
temperature, desiccant inlet temperature
are studied.
Results and Discussion
The objective of the study is to
experimentally analyze the effect of various
performance parameters of Solar Desiccant
System. In this experiment, Calcium Chloride is
used as desiccant which is non toxic, non
flammable and easily available in market. The
parameters are studied as follows: Desiccant
inlet temperature, Air inlet temperature, Air and
desiccant flow rate.
Effect of regeneration temperature on
humidity reduction
The figure shows the effect of the air
regenerator temperature on the
humidification on air in the regenerator. The
moisture absorbing capacity of the air
increases as the air regeneration
temperature increases. As we decrease the
air mass flow rate decreases, humidification
rate increases by keeping desiccant
flow constant.

Effect of Regeneration Temperature on Temperature Increase
The influence of regeneration temperature on the air exit temperature
is given in the Figures 5 shown below. As we increase the regeneration
temperature, more heat is utilized to regenerate the solution and resulting,
the exit temperature also increases. The moisture absorbing capacity
increases as the air regenerator temperature increases. By decreasing air
flow rate keeping desiccant flow constant, the moisture absorbing
capacity of air decreases.
Effect of Desiccant Inlet Temperature
Figure 6 shows the influence of desiccant inlet temperature on the
moisture removal capacity in absorber with different air mass flow rates.
It is also shows the relationship between the air flow rate and the
moisture removal rate. For analyze the effect of desiccant inlet temperature
on dehumidification process, we kept the desiccant flow rate constant.
As the desiccant inlet temperature increase in absorber, the moisture
removal capacity decreases. As shown in Fig 6 the moisture removal
increases as the air flow rate increases.
Effect of Humidity Ratio with Time with Desiccant Flow Variations
The experimental results show that higher air velocity will obtain the
faster air dehumidification, but it has low effectiveness. Refer Figure 7.
Conclusion
It is seen from the above discussions, the moisture removal rate
increases with the regeneration of desiccant. The moisture removal
decreases when the inlet temperature of desiccant in absorber increases.
The maximum temperature for the regeneration is obtained for black
chrome coating in solar plate. These results are compared with the
existing standard results and found that they are approximately same.
The water condensation rate doesn’t change much with the air inlet
temperature and
desiccant temperature. It
almost remains constant.
The water condensation
rate increases with
increasing desiccant inlet
concentration.
The use of solar
energy reduces the cost of
operation of the system.
The demand of the energy
is increasing day by day
and it is more sense to use
solar driven systems
which are very economical
as compared to the
conventionally electrically
driven systems. In solar
driven dehumidifier we use
solar energy for the
regeneration of the
desiccant instead of
electrical energy and
Calcium Chloride is used
as desiccant. Resulting,
this system can be used as
Air Conditioning systems
and it is not expensive.
