Abstract
In last few decades due to global warming the temperature of the earth increases continuously
day by day responsible for the increased energy demand for cooling the building space. Vapor
compression based conventionally used traditional air conditioners consume tremendous
energy for cooling the building. So, it is time to search for cooling system which maintains
necessary thermal comfort at optimum energy use. Desiccant assisted evaporative cooling
system having greater potential for use of renewable solar energy as well as effectiveness in
terms of maintaining comfort in hot and humid climate. In the present paper, solid desiccant
based evaporative cooling systems are reviewed and it is shown that desiccant assisted
evaporative cooling perform better and displayed comparatively lower energy consumption as
compared to the traditional air conditioning systems.
