Today, in the 21st century era, global warming has taken over our mother earth. The demand for conditioned air has only increased at a exponential rate for the past decade. The only way to deal with climatic problems is to rely on renewable energy sources and technology. One such technology is the liquid desiccant system. These technologies incorporate the utilization of solar energy and are proven to have greater Coefficient of Performance. The liquid desiccant system under inspection incorporates a packed bed design. Desiccant used in the below system is Tri Ethylene Glycol which dehumidifies the air to be conditioned and then is recirculated in the closed loop system for regeneration using the solar concentrator. The night-sky cooling system is coupled with concentrator for effective night and day time use of the concentrator. The setup consists of a dehumidifier with a regenerator, heat exchanger, a concentrator, desiccant cooling system, controlled temperature reservoir and a control system. Experiments will be conducted on this system using different parameters and operating conditions of the desiccant.
