| Description | Unlike conventional HVAC systems, sorption cooling systems do not require an external source of cooling for cooling and dehumidification of the air. Instead, sorptive materials dehumidify the air and water evaporation cools the air. There are sorption cooling systems with solid absorbers and others with fluid absorbers. Those with solid absorbers are already widely available, while those with fluid absorbers are at the brink of widespread availability. |
