Applicability of an organic Rankine cycle for a liquid desiccant-assisted dedicated outdoor air system in apartments

This study investigates the dehumidification and energy performance of central ventilation systems based on a liquid desiccant-assisted dedicated outdoor air system applied to an apartment residential building. This heat-driven central ventilation system should receive heat energy because of regener...
