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 desiccant air conditioning system for treating an air stream entering a building space, including a conditioner configured to expose the air stream to a liquid desiccant such that the liquid desiccant dehumidifies the air stream in the warm weather operation mode and humidifies the air stream in the cold weather operation mode. The conditioner includes multiple plate structures arranged in a vertical orientation and spaced apart to permit the air stream to flow between the plate structures. Each plate structure includes a passage through which a heat transfer fluid can flow. Each plate structure also has at least one surface across which the liquid desiccant can flow. The system includes a regenerator connected to the conditioner for causing the liquid desiccant to desorb water in the warm weather operation mode and to absorb water in the cold weather operation mode from a return air stream.

Abstract: An energy conserving air conditioning system having a superior dehumidification capacity has been developed, by raising the processing temperature of regeneration air for regenerating a desiccant material in a desiccant-assisted air conditioning system. The air conditioning system comprises: a process air passage (A) for flowing process air; a regeneration air passage (B) for flowing regeneration air; a desiccant device (103) which can be selectively communicated with either the process air passage or the regeneration air passage; and a heat pump device for supplying a heating heat for regenerating the desiccant device (103) to the regeneration air. The heat pump device has a compressor (260) and is workable on process air as a low temperature heat source and regeneration air as a high temperature heat source. Superheated vapor of a compressed refrigerant flowing out from the compressor (260) is used to heat a portion of regeneration air in the regeneration air passage upstream of the desiccant device.
