Study Notes

Building Local and Meteorological Information for BHOPAL City

The study involves building local and meteorological information for Bhopal city, which is essential for understanding the climate and weather conditions.

Climatological Data for Temperature and Humidity in Bhopal

The climatological data for temperature and humidity in Bhopal is crucial for determining the cooling load and designing the hybrid solid desiccant cooling system.

Building Structure and Fenestration

The building structure and fenestration play a significant role in determining the heat gain and cooling load of the building.
The fenestration-related overall heat transfer coefficient is an essential parameter for calculating the heat gain through walls and windows.

Heat Gain Calculations

The heat gain through an exposed wall can be calculated using the formula: Qexposed wall (SE) = UA(CLTD)corrected.
The heat gain through glass parapets on the wall can be calculated using the formula: Qglass (SW) = Uglass sheet x Aglass parapet x (To-Ti).
The total heat gain through glass parapets on the wall can be calculated by adding the heat gains from different directions: Qglass parapet = Qglass (SW) + Qglass (NE) + Qglass (NW).

Hybrid Solid Desiccant Cooling System

The study involves the development of a hybrid solid desiccant cooling system for small-scale commercial office cabins.
The system uses a desiccant wheel, an enthalpy wheel, and an evaporating coil to provide cooling and dehumidification.
The system is beneficial for operating in hot and dry climates, providing significant energy savings and effective humidity control.

Research Methodology

The research involves a detailed literature search, identifying research gaps, and conducting experiments and CFD simulations to evaluate the performance of the hybrid solid desiccant cooling system.
The study uses ANSYS CFX software for numerical simulation of various duct shapes utilized in the dehumidification process of desiccant wheels.

Previous Research Work

Henning et al. (2001) explored the potential of solar energy in desiccant cooling cycles, showing that integrating solar energy could significantly enhance the performance of desiccant cooling systems.
Luo et al. (2019) developed a solar-assisted hybrid solid desiccant cooling system, which enhanced system performance by about 10% in power consumption.
Kashif Shahzad et al. (2022) conducted an experimental evaluation of a hybrid solid desiccant M-cycle indirect evaporative cooling system, demonstrating significant improvements in cooling capacity and energy efficiency.
