Next-generation HVAC: Prospects for and limitations of desiccant and membrane-based dehumidification and cooling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a uniform framework based on fundamental thermodynamic principles to assess and compare different HVAC technologies from an energy conversion standpoint, and the thermodynamic least work of dehumidification and cooling is formally defined as a thermodynamic benchmark, while VCS performance is chosen as the industry benchmark against which other technologies, namely desiccant-based cooling system (DCS) and membrane based cooling systems (MCS), are compared.
