Hybrid dehydrative and evaporative air conditioners

摘要

The hybrid desiccant dehumidifying and evaporating apparatus is an air conditioner that removes humidity from air using a liquid or solid desiccant 8 and regenerates the desiccant using concentrated solar heat 1. The apparatus preferably comprises means for dry filtration by sterilising air using an ultraviolet process 10. The apparatus may comprise a rotating belt that is saturated with low concentration liquid desiccant and an air supply may be pulled through the belt. The apparatus may also utilise thermal air chimney effects 5.
