It is well known that the energy consumption for summer air conditioning tends to be an ever growing fraction of the energy need for the indoor environment. Recently a new equipment for dehumidification was put onto the market. It is a self regenerating liquid desiccant cooling system able to dehumidify, heating or cooling the ambient air by an electric heat pump that is a part of the equipment. A commercial/industrial treatment unit of this type was installed in a new building of the Vicenza hospital, and a data logging system was set up to monitor several parameters of this interesting device. Collected data show the performances of the device, both in terms of COP and temperature-humidity control. These data were of great help for the understanding of the unit’s behaviour.

Abstract
It is well known that the energy consumption for summer air conditioning tends to be an ever growing fraction of the energy need for the indoor environment. Recently a new equipment for dehumidification was put onto the market. It is a self regenerating liquid desiccant cooling system able to dehumidify, heating or cooling the ambient air by an electric heat pump that is a part of the equipment. A commercial/industrial treatment unit of this type was installed in a new building of the Vicenza hospital, and a data logging system was set up to monitor several parameters of this interesting device. Collected data show the performances of the device, both in terms of COP and temperature-humidity control. These data were of great help for the understanding of the unit’s behaviour.
