Abstract

The work deals with the design and the functioning simulation of a novel solar air-conditioning system. The new design of the system is developed with two key stages: multi-bed dehumidifier system that ensures a regular dehumidification, and an adsorption chiller that increases the energetic performance of the system. Three operation modes (summer with dehumidification, summer without dehumidification and winter modes) are detailed for the proposed solar air-conditioning system. The simulation of the functioning of the designed system was carried out, under variable meteorological conditions, in order to foresee the energetic performance and predict the temperature range ensuring the sense of well-being.
