Abstract: Liquid desiccant dehumidification (LDD) system is an emerging technology with energy-saving benefit in HVAC applications. It removes moisture from the inlet air stream and handles the latent load without overcooling and reheating. The most energy-intensive process of the LDD system, the desiccant regeneration process, can be driven by renewable solar thermal energy with a temperature lower than 100 °C. However, the integration of solar heat needs to consider the inconsistent availability of solar radiation and regeneration heat demand.
