Modelling of a solar desiccant cooling system using a TRNSYS-MATLAB co-simulator : a review

Heating and cooling systems around the globe are the largest energy consumer and with the ever-increasing population and development the need for heating and cooling systems is increasing. Control systems in solar assisted desiccant cooling are especially important as they allow the solar fraction t...
