Abstract: This work presents theoretical study of a standalone outdoor liquid desiccant air conditioning (LDAC) system assisted by solar energy. The liquid desiccant dehumidification cycle was integrated with a double indirect evaporative air cooler and a regenerative air heat recovery. The double indirect evaporative air cooler was used to recover heat from the return air, while air-air heat exchanger was used to recover heat from air leaving the regenerator. A water-in-glass evacuated tube solar collector was used to supply the system with solar heat. The remaining required heat is provided by natural gas fired boiler. The system was simulated by transient model under thermal energy storage, thermochemical energy storage and combined thermal and thermochemical energy storage modes.
