A liquid desiccant system for controlling a temperature inside an enclosure includes an evaporative cooler system configured to cool an air stream AA entering the enclosure during day time; a liquid desiccant night cooler (LDNC) system configured to cool down and dry an inside air stream AE of the enclosure by using a liquid desiccant during the night; and a controller configured to switch on the LDNC system during the night.

Liquid dessicant cooler system and method

A liquid desiccant system for controlling a temperature inside an enclosure includes a liquid desiccant evaporative cooler (LDEC) system configured to cool down an incoming air stream (AA) entering the enclosure by using a first liquid desiccant; a liquid desiccant humidity pump (LDHR) system configured to remove humidity from a humid air stream (AD) that exists the enclosure by using a second liquid desiccant; and a storage system fluidly connected to the LDEC system and to the LDHR system and configured to separately store the first liquid desiccant and the second liquid desiccant. The humid air stream (AD) includes water vapors from the first liquid desiccant and from inside the enclosure.

There is a modular, insulated, all-in-one, plug-and-play (MIAP) aquaponics unit that includes a framework having a single base and plural walls; an aquaculture tank defined by a first portion of the single base and a first set of the plural walls; a clarifier tank defined by a second portion of the single base and a second set of the plural walls; a bio-reactor tank defined by a third portion of the single base and a third set of the plural walls; a hydroponics tank defined by a fourth portion of the single base and a fourth set of the plural walls; and piping extending through the plural walls between each two adjacent tanks for allowing water from the aquaculture tank to flow into the clarifier tank and then into the bio-reactor tank and then into the hydroponics tank and back to the aquaculture tank.

A water cooling and salt aerosols removal system for cooling roots of a plant includes a salt water module configured to cool a salt water and to remove salt aerosols from an air stream, and a fresh water module configured to further remove salt aerosols from the air stream by using fresh water. The air stream exits the salt water module and enters the fresh water module, and wherein the salt water has a higher content of salt than the fresh water.
