FIGURE  3  Integrated  system  is  a  proposed  off-peak
                     desiccant/evaporative-cooling            configuration        with      cogeneration

                  In certain climates, office buildings are inviting targets for saving energy
               via evaporative chilling. When waste heat is plentiful, desiccant cooling and
               cogeneration become attractive. In coupling the continuously available heat-

               rejection capacity of packaged cogeneration units, Fig. 4, with continuously
               operating  regenerator  demands,  the  use  of  integrated  components  for
               desiccant  cooling,  thermal-energy  storage,  and  cogeneration  increases.  The
