desiccant/evaporative-cooling configuration with cogeneration
capability. (Power and The Meckler Group.)
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
