Abstract
The main objective of this project was to evaluate the performance of a desiccant evaporative
cooling (DEC) system operating in the ventilation (once-through) mode.
An accurate data acquisition system was installed on a small DEC test installation
located in the School of Mechanical Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg. The DEC system was extensively tested to fully evaluate the overall
system and each of its components. (Abbreviation abstract)
