Other countries may have research, development and application but no published literatures.
(Italy), 11.4 g/kg; and Berlin (Germany), 9.5 g/kg. Furthermore, the study showed
that evacuated tube is better than the flat-plate collector owing to the small size of the
required back-up thermal energy. Sand and Fischer (2005) investigated the application
of the solid desiccant air-conditioning system with a package of HVAC equipment.
This showed that the active desiccant module delivers the required air condition with
lower cost.
Henning et al. (2001) considered the application of solar desiccant air-conditioning
in Europe. They showed the possibility for a simple design of desiccant air-conditioning
that is totally dependent on solar energy. However, the condition of the indoor air
sometimes exceeded the required level. The system is best suited to a temperate
