Recently, heat pump drying has been widely used in tobacco processing. Considering the importance of this issue, it is significant to further investigate temperature distribution and energy analysis process. To develop an energy-saving, environmental-friendly, high-quality method, distribution, dehumidification performance, economic issues, thermal efficiency a curing barn (HPCB) traditional co...

In this review, the new solar water treatment technologies, including desalination in two direct and indirect methods, are comprehensively presented. Recent advances applications of five major technologies include solar-powered humidification–dehumidification, multi-stage flash desalination, multi-effect RO, stills. Each technology’s productivity, energy consumption, production costs Also, comm...

Conventional air conditioners (AC) operate on vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) technology, which is a heavy consumer of electricity, and the used refrigerants harm environment. In humid hot areas, liquid desiccant AC system integrated with VCR has been proposed as better alternative to traditional standalone system, it an energy-efficient that can remove latent load, pollutants from proces...
