They are an alternative to conventional compression cooling systems, being more efficient and offering the possibility of independently control temperature and humidity. In this paper the design and operation of a HLDS is presented, for the air conditioning of a high latent load application with high ambient humidity levels. An analysis of the daily evolution of the performance of the system under different environmental conditions has been included. The innovative demonstration unit placed in Taiwan, in continuous operation since November 2015, achieved Energy efficiency Ratios (EER) up to 4.6.91303872enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1016/j.ijrefrig.2018.11.011Liquid desiccant systemHVACFalling-filmExperimental performanceLiquid desiccant systemHVACFalling-filmExperimental performanceBuilding and ConstructionMechanical EngineeringSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean EnergyProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/314701/EU/An Energy Efficient Air Conditioning systems with Temperature and Humidity independent controls based on the combination of a Liquid Desiccants Cycle with an adapted conventional air cooling system/NANOCOOLinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/314701/EU/An Energy Efficient Air Conditioning systems with Temperature and Humidity independent controls based on the combination of a Liquid Desiccants Cycle with an adapted conventional air cooling system/NANOCOOLFunding InfoThe authors would like to thank the support of the project “nanoCOOL” funded by_x000D_ the Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013, Project No. 314701.The authors would like to thank the support of the project “nanoCOOL” funded by_x000D_ the Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013, Project No. 314701.http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85058126371&partnerID=8YFLogxK
