Seminar on Hybrid Solar Desiccant System:
Here is given the brief information of Hybrid Solar Desiccant System. The main topics under this title are as below:
- Introduction
- What is Desiccant
- New Technological Advances
- Performance comparisons
- Advantages
- Applications etc…
What is Desiccant?
It is hygroscopic substance which when kept in moderately sealed container keep it dry or sustains dryness.Desiccant can exist in both solid as well as in liquid phase.
Commonly Known Desiccants:
Desiccants can be divided in Two major strams:
1. Solid Desiccants:
- Silica Gel
- Activated Alumina
- Lithium Chlorate Salt
- Titanium Silicate
2. Liquid Desiccants:
- Lithium Chlorate
- Lithium Bromide
- Calcium Chloride
- Tri-ethylene Glycol
Advantages of Hybrid Solar Desiccant Cooling System:
- Being the solar desiccant system it is capable of removing the moisture from the system without any component which have any ozone depleting potential.
- Also controls the growth of microorganisms.
- Can be used whole year with good comfort.
- Electrical demand is considerably reduced.
- Reduction is size of equipment.
- Low capital and low maintenance.
Applications of Solar Desiccant Cooling System:
Desiccants have high use potentials today. Lot of applications ask the desiccant systems for their good performance. Some of the common applications are:
- Defense
- Power Plants like Thermal Power Station
- Pharmaceutical Industries
- Museums
- Food and Confectionery Industries
Key Comparison Points Between Hybrid Solar Desiccant System and General System:
- Hybrid Cycle use less energy than the normal vapour compression unit.
- Desiccant regeneration is achieved by use of Solar Energy.
- Performance is afffected by use of components.
- Solar system have better efficiency than that of vapour or former system.
