Abstract
Abstract
The energy saving potential of solar driven desiccant evaporative cooling (DEC) systems are mainly evaluated for the
summer period, but not for the winter time. Here, the sorption rotor has high energetically advantages for humidity
recovery purposes. The solar driven DEC systems installed in the ENERYbase office building have been monitored
within the last two years to analyze also this effect. The primary energy saving potential during the winter time is
unexpectedly high due to the humidity recovery mode. Further simulations with different climates using the same
system configuration will show the general potential of this effect.
