Abstract: A system comprises a liquid desiccant regeneration system, a first air contactor stage, and a second air contactor stage. The regeneration system has a first stage with a first concentration output and first diluted output, and a second stage with a second concentration output, different from the first concentration output, and a second diluted output. The first air contactor stage is coupled to the first concentrated output to form a first output air stream having a reduced water content and a first diluted air contactor output. The second air contactor stage is coupled to the second concentrated output to form a second output air stream having a reduced water content and a second diluted air contactor output. Both diluted air contactor outputs are recirculated into the regeneration system, and the output air streams are combined.

Abstract: A liquid/gas contactor unit includes a unit housing having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, and an air inlet and an air outlet. The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are configured to flow liquid through the unit housing in a gravity liquid flow direction. The air inlet and the air outlet are configured to flow air through the unit housing in an air flow direction. A plurality of porous media layers are contained within the unit housing and along the air flow channel. Each porous media layer is separated from an adjacent porous media layer by an air gap. Each porous media layer has opposing major surfaces separated by a thickness. The opposing major surfaces are orthogonal to the gravity liquid flow direction.

Abstract: Air flows across an air-liquid interface such that liquid desiccant flowing through the interface absorbs water from the air and is thereby diluted to form an output stream. The output stream is circulated through an electrodialytic stack having a central ionic exchange membrane and first and second outer ionic exchange membranes. A redox shuttle loop circulates around the first and second outer ionic exchange membranes. A voltage is applied across the electrodialytic stack, which regenerates the liquid desiccant.

Abstract: Liquid desiccant air conditioning systems and methods to operate them to achieved desired supply air dry bulb temperature and humidity conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, the liquid desiccant air conditioning systems can include a cooling unit, an absorber, a regenerator, and a control unit. The control unit can be operably coupled to the cooling unit, the absorber, and the regenerator such that the control unit can operate the liquid desiccant system to produce a supply air stream at a relatively independent target temperature and humidity. In some embodiments, the control unit can adjust one or more parameters and/or variables of the components of the liquid desiccant system to produce the supply air stream at a high energy efficiency.

Abstract: A liquid desiccant regenerator configured to produce a first output stream with a higher concentration of a liquid desiccant than a first input stream. The regenerator also produces a second output stream with a lower concentration of the liquid desiccant than a second input stream. Regeneration of the liquid desiccant in the liquid desiccant regenerator decreases a temperature of the liquid desiccant regenerator. The system includes an air contactor coupled to the first output stream and exposing an input air stream to the first output stream. The first output stream absorbs water from the input air stream to form at least one diluted output desiccant stream. A heat pump of the system is thermally coupled to move the heat from the first output stream to the liquid desiccant regenerator. The heat moved to the liquid desiccant regenerator increases an efficiency of the liquid desiccant regenerator.

Abstract: A liquid desiccant system includes a liquid desiccant loop having an absorber unit in fluid communication with a desorber unit and liquid desiccant flowing between the absorber unit and the desorber unit. The liquid desiccant system includes a supply airflow path passing through the absorber unit and forming an absorber liquid/air interface within the absorber unit and a conditioned airflow exiting the absorber unit. The liquid desiccant system includes a regeneration airflow path passing through the desorber unit and forming a desorber liquid/air interface within the desorber unit and an exhaust airflow exiting the desorber unit. A heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the supply airflow path for removing heat from supply airflow upstream of the absorber unit. A heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the regeneration airflow path adding heat to regeneration airflow upstream of the desorber unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for conditioning air streams are described herein. In some embodiments, a system can include an absorber and a desorber. The absorber configured to receive a supply air stream including moisture at a first moisture concentration and expose it to a liquid desiccant to remove moisture from the supply air stream and produce a conditioned air stream. The desorber configured to receive a regeneration stream at a first mass flow rate and at least a portion of the liquid desiccant from the absorber and having at least one salt at a first weight percent. The desorber includes an array of emitters configured to direct the portion of the liquid desiccant at a second mass flow rate to a desorber media to facilitate removing moisture from the portion of the liquid desiccant and produce a concentrated liquid desiccant with the at least one salt at a second weight percent.
