Liquid dehumidification air-conditioning system is a promising air-conditioning system as it is environment-friendly, capable of utilizing low grade heat and less dependent on the electric power. However, because of the heat waste, its performance is not yet as competitive as vapour compression system. To improve, a photovoltaic driven system is proposed in this paper: electricity is applied to regenerate desiccant; the electric energy comes from solar power. Performance analysis has been made. The results show the coefficient of performance of the new system is influenced by the concentration of the desiccant and can approach 6 at certain circumstances. It also shows that LiBr solution is more favorable among three common used desiccants. Moreover, this paper presents the new progress of experimental research on this system.

Air Circulation

Air conditioning system is one of the main components of modern cars, which defines the level of comfort, its performances directly affecting the car performances. In order to have a car with high level of thermal comfort, the air-conditioning system must be efficient in terms of energy, it has to perform many functions regarding the microclimate control (control of temperature, humidity, filtration), and in addition must fulfill safety and security functions in circulation (demisting and defrosting). Also vehicle air-conditioning system can significantly influence fuel economy and tailpipe emissions of conventional and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and reduce electric vehicle (EV) range.

Thermoelectric technology applied in vehicle has become significantly essential due to the global energy crisis and the environmental protection issues. A novelty energy efficient technology called localized air-conditioning (LAC) powered by thermoelectric generator (TEG), i.e., TEG-powered LAC, is proposed in order to better utilize the generated power of TEG, only then will the fuel economy improvement be achieved. This system which has little impact on the original automotive electrical system is basically comprised of LAC, TEG, converter, and battery. The TEG can directly convert thermal energy to electrical energy to power the novelty energy-efficient air-conditioning system called LAC. The submodels of LAC and TEG are built and integrated into a heavy-duty vehicle to quantitatively assess its performance by simulation analysis. The results indicate that the novelty TEG-powered LAC system can work normally with high efficiency and improve the fuel economy by 3.7%. Therefore, this system resolves the problem of proper use of the TEG's power and provides a fully new perspective to substitute the mechanical loads to engine with electrical loads powered by TEG to improve the fuel economy with much more practicality and rationality.

Air Conditioning Systems

One of the ways to achieve safety and comfort is to improve on-board air conditioning systems.The use of air cooling machine determines the air pressure high level at the point of selection from the aircraft engine compressor. Because of the aircraft operation in different modes and especially in the modes of small gas engines, deliberately high stages of selection have to be used for ensuring proper operation of the refrigeration machine in the modes of the aircraft small gas engines. Into force of this, most modes of aircraft operation have to throttle the pressure of the selected stage of selection, which, together with the low efficiency of the air cycle cooling system, makes the currently used air conditioning systems energy inefficient.A key feature of the architecture without air extraction from the main engines compressors is the use of electric drive compressors as a source of compressed air.A comparative analysis of competing variants of on-board air conditioning system without air extraction from engines for longrange aircraft projects was performed at the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University).The article deals with the main approaches to the decision-making process on the appearance of a promising aircraft on-board air conditioning system at the stage of its conceptual design and formulated the basic requirements for the structure of a complex criterion at different life cycle stages.The level of technical and technological risk, together with a larger installation weight, will require significant costs for development, testing, debugging and subsequent implementation, but at the same time on-board air conditioning system scheme without air extraction from the engines will achieve a significant increase in fuel efficiency at the level of the entire aircraft.
