Abstract

The system in this article was operated for electric heating and thermal storage, thermal storage and desiccant cooling, three days of controlled system operation, and a one-day actual outdoor air conditions operation. Results show that almost 9 h of electric heating is needed to store sufficient thermal energy and that same thermal stored energy is barely enough to support the desiccant cooling operation for only 7 h. It is also shown that excess thermal energy in the tank from the previous day's operation cannot support the early-hour desiccant cooling the following day.
