Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a heat pump that uses a solid desiccant dehumidifier to reduce the humidity of the ambient air that flows into the evaporator, with the purpose of decreasing ...

Abstract: This paper shows the development and use of a transient model for evaluating frost formation on a parallel-plate heat pump evaporator. A frost formation model is derived by applying the equations ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a class of latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system. The analysis is based on a simplified model that allows the system performance to be evaluated in ...
