Freescoo is a new all-in-one compact solar Desiccant Evaporative Cooling (DEC) air conditioner concept. The cooling process is based on the use of fixed and cooled adsorption beds and advanced evaporative cooling concepts. This solution permits to increase the energy performances of the whole cooling process in comparison to the standard desiccant rotor bases DEC cycles. The indirect evaporative cooling process is realized using optimized wet plate heat exchangers which allow low supply temperatures to the room and overall energy performances. The experimental results of an optimized configuration of the freescoo unit together with the Life Cycle Assessment of the unit are here presented and discussed.

Abstract

Freescoo is a new all-in-one compact solar Desiccant Evaporative Cooling (DEC) air conditioner concept. The cooling process is based on the use of fixed and cooled adsorption beds and advanced evaporative cooling concepts. This solution permits to increase the energy performances of the whole cooling process in comparison to the standard desiccant rotor bases DEC cycles. The indirect evaporative cooling process is realized using optimized wet plate heat exchangers which allow low supply temperatures to the room and overall energy performances. The experimental results of an optimized configuration of the freescoo unit together with the Life Cycle Assessment of the unit are here presented and discussed.
