The system involves variable mass energy transformation and storage technology and uses LiCl solution as working fluid. Presents the operating principle and flow process of the system. Develops a dynamic model of energy charge and discharge processes. Taking a typical office building with dedicated outdoor air system located at highly humid South China as an example, numerically simulates the system operation modes under the full storage strategy, and finds the variations of operation parameters and operating characteristics of the system and operating parameters of the devices with operation time and external conditions.
