Performances of a hybrid air conditioning system withseparate processing of latent and sensible heat loads

Based on the tested data, compares the performances of the hybrid air conditioning systems with the desiccant wheels respectively coated with silica gel and LiCl with those of the compression-type air conditioning system. The results show that the hybrid air conditioning system consumes less electricity energy than the vapor compression air conditioning system by 25.6％ to 35.4％, and reduces the area of evaporator by 11.1％ to 15.6％ and the area of condenser by 15.4％ to 21.4％ when the desiccant wheels dealing with latent heat load.
