Abstract
Liquid desiccant air conditioning systems and methods to operate them to achieved desired supply air dry bulb temperature and humidity conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, the liquid desiccant air conditioning systems can include a cooling unit, an absorber, a regenerator, and a control unit. The control unit can be operably coupled to the cooling unit, the absorber, and the regenerator such that the control unit can operate the liquid desiccant system to produce a supply air stream at a relatively independent target temperature and humidity. In some embodiments, the control unit can adjust one or more parameters and/or variables of the components of the liquid desiccant system to produce the supply air stream at a high energy efficiency.
