Liquid desiccant cooling systems are being studied as an alternative to conventional vapor compression refrigeration systems. A design optimization of these systems has been carried out that minimizes the life-cycle costs under the given constraints. The optimization is a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem that has been solved by Modified Box’s complex method. System simulation required for programming has been carried out using Warner’s technique. It has been found that if waste heat is available, liquid systems could be a viable alternative to conventional cooling systems.
