Abstract

Desiccants, as a key factor affecting the performance of solid desiccant cooling system, have always been the research focus due to it decides performance and economy of the entire cooling system. Composite desiccants are the most extensively used desiccant materials in solid desiccant cooling system in recent years because of large water uptake, high adsorption/desorption rate, good thermal and hygroscopic stability. This paper introduces the research progress of composite desiccants, mainly including silica gel-based composite desiccants, molecular sieve-based composite desiccants, carbon-based composite desiccants, natural rock-based composite desiccants and polymer composite desiccants. The dehumidification performances are especially compared, and the future development trend of composite desiccants is prospected.

Key words： solid adsorption dehumidification; omposite desiccants; dehumidification performance
