Comparison of the cooling performance is provided between the desiccant cool-ing systems incorporating a direct evaporative cooler and a regenerative evaporative cooler, respectively. Cycle simulation is conducted, and the cooling capacity and COP are evaluated at various temperature and humidity conditions. The COP of the system with a regenerative evaporative cooler and the regeneration temperature of 6$0^{\circ}C$ is evaluated 0.65 at the outdoor air condition of 35$^{\circ}C$ and 40% RH. This value is found about 3.4 times larger than that of the system with a direct evaporative cooler. Furthermore, incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler eliminates the need for deep dehumidification in a desiccant dehumidifier that is necessary to achieve low air temperature in the system with a direct evaporative cooler. Subsequently, the regenerative evaporative cooler enables the use of low temperature heat source to regenerate the dehumidifier permitting the desiccant cooling system more beneficial compared with other thermal driven air conditioners.

제습 냉방시스템은 증발식 냉각기를 이용하여 공조 공기를 냉각하는 시스템으로 전기구동 냉각기 없이 열에너지만으로 냉방 공급을 수행할 수 있다. 따라서, CFC 계열의 냉매 사용에 의한 오존층 파괴 및 하절기 냉각기 가동에 의한 첨두 전력부하의 증가 등 기존의 냉방시스템이 야기하는 여러 가지 문제점들을 해결할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제습 냉방시스템의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 냉방 성능과 엑서지 해석을 수행하였다. 특히 열역학 제2법칙에 근거한 엑서지 해석을 이용할 경우 전체시스템과 구성요소에서의 엑서지 파괴의 원인을 분석함으로써 시스템의 효율과 관련된 주제에 대하여 더욱 본질적인 측면에서 접근할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 재생온도와 외기조건의 변화에 따른 재생 증발식 냉각기를 이용한 제습 냉방시스템의 성능계수, 냉방용량, 엑서지 성능을 평가하는 것이다.

In dehumidification evaporation cooling system. the regeneratie evaporative cooler(REC) makes an important role to reduce the sensible cooling load in the system through evaporative cooling, By this reason, many studies about increasing the cooling capacity of the REC were undertook. In this paper, we analyzed the cooling characteristics of the REC due to the structures of the REC and determined the best structure for the REC's effectiveness and cooling capacity. From the study. we could obtain some important results: at first. corrugated type has the benefit to expand the channel width of the REC, But because the type has some weak points about the size and weight. there is almost no benefit to improve the performance of the REC. Through these reasons. we decided that finned type is the best structure to improve the performance of the REC.

This study investigated a compact regenerative evaporative cooler (REC). To achieve practical applications of an REC, it is very important to consider the compactness as well as the cooling performance. Therefore, a prototype of the REC was designed and fabricated to improve the compactness by reducing the length through the insertion of fins in both the dry and wet channels. The REC prototype was tested in terms of performance evaluation under various operating conditions. An analytical model was also developed to analyze the effects of the axial conduction through the solid body of the REC, the wetness of the surface in the wet channel, and the thermal capacity of the evaporation water flow. The model was validated by comparing the results of a simulation with experimental data. The numerical simulation was based on the model to analyze the performance of the REC and to suggest methods to improve the cooling performance of the REC. Finally, the performance of the present REC was compared to that obtained in previous experimental studies. The results showed that the REC prototype in the present study is the most compact and achieves the highest cooling performance.

The regenerative evaporative cooler(REC) is to cool a stream of air using evaporative cooling effect without an increase in the humidity ratio. In the regenerative evaporative cooler, the air can be cooled down to a temperature lower than its inlet wet-bulb temperature. Besides the cooling performance, for practical application of the regenerative evaporative cooler, the compactness of the system is also a very important factor to be considered. In this respect, three different configurations, i.e., the flat plate type, the corrugated plate type, and the finned channel type are investigated and compared for the most compact configuration. The optimal structure of each configuration is obtained individually to minimize the volume for a given effectiveness within a limit of the pressure drop. Comparing the three optimal structures, the finned channel type is found to give the most compact structure among the considered configurations. The volume of the regenerative cooler can be reduced to 1/8 by adopting the finned channel type as compared to that of the flat plate type.

Hybrid desiccant cooling system(HDCS) consists of desiccant rotor, regenerative evaporative cooler, heat pump and district heating hot water coil. In this study, TRNSYS and EES, dynamic and steady simulation programs were used for studying hybrid desiccant cooling system which is applied to an apartment house from June to August. The results show that power consumption of the hybrid desiccant cooling system is 70 kWh in June, 199 kWh in July and 241 kWh in August. Sensible and latent heats removed by the hybrid desiccant cooling system are 300 kWh, 301 kWh in June, 610 kWh, 858 kWh in July and 719 kWh, 1010 kWh in August. COP of the hybrid desiccant cooling system is 8.6 in June, 7.4 in July and 7.2 in August. COP of the hybrid desiccant cooling system decreases when latent heat load increases. Operation time of the system is 70 hours in June, 190 hours in July and 229 hours in August. Since the cooling load is largest in August, the operation time of August is longest for maintaining the indoor temperature at $26^{\circ}C$. Due to the characteristics of hybrid desiccant cooling system for efficiently handling both sensible and latent loads, this system can handle sensible and latent heat loads efficiently in summer.

Desiccant based air conditioning system offers a promising alternative to conventional one using vapour compression refrigeration for energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction. It is a heat driven cycle which has high potential for the use of low grade heat source such as the waste heat from the cogeneration plant or the solar thermal energy. In this study, the cooling performance of a desiccant cooling system incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler was characterized in various operation conditions through numerical simulation. The cooling capacity and COP were evaluated at various outdoor conditions, regeneration temperatures, and supply flow rates. Based on the performance characteristics, the optimal control scheme was discussed to minimize the cooling cost at part load condition.

이산화탄소 흡수공정은 대규모의 이산화탄소를 처리하는데 유리하지만, 다량의 흡수액을 재생하는데 필요한 현열과 증발열로 인한 에너지 비용 상승이 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 이산화탄소를 흡수한 탄산칼륨 흡수액을 냉각 결정화시켜, 다량의 물로부터 이산화탄소가 많이 포함된 중탄산칼륨 결정을 선택적으로 분리할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 분리효율을 높이기 위해 입체 장애 알카놀아민 첨가제를 도입하여, 이들이 중탄산칼륨 연속식 결정화에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 결정의 석출량은 2-아미노-2-메틸-1-프로판올(2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, AMP), 2-아미노-2-메틸-1,3-프로판디올(2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, AMPD), 2-아미노-2-히드록시메틸-1,3-프로판디올(2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, AHPD)의 순서로 증가하였으며, 반용매로 작용하는 첨가제들의 히드록실기 개수와 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 탄소 핵자기공명분광 분석 결과, 첨가제들은 입체 장애 효과에 의해 중탄산 이온의 생성을 유도하고 과포화도를 상승시킨 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 첨가제들은 과포화도 상승을 통해 평균 입도와 결정 성장 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 입체 장애 알카놀아민 첨가제는 중탄산칼륨 결정화를 촉진함으로써, 물로부터 이산화탄소의 분리효율을 향상시키고 재생에너지를 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
