Energy efficiency analysis for liquid desiccant air conditioning system driven by river water and heat pump

High-temperature cold source is a key factor that influences energy efficiency of liquid desiccant based temperature and humidity independent process air conditioning system. Taking an actual project as an example, according to the hourly data of the river water temperature around the project, analyses the feasibility using river water as the high-temperature cold source directly. Calculation results show that the energy saving rate of this system is 20.52%.
