Abstract
A hybrid air conditioning system for an enclosed space in a building is comprised of a refrigeration subsystem handling the enclosed space sensible heat load and of a liquid desiccant dehumidification subsystem handling the enclosed space latent heat load. The dehumidification subsystem primarily utilizes available heat from the refrigeration subsystem for liquid desiccant regeneration and dehumidifies ventilation air from the ambient atmosphere for subsequent mixing with enclosed space recirculated air to control the relative humidity within the enclosed space to a desired level. Total system performance efficiency is improved by a novel arrangement and control of system elements.
