Energy performance of solar assisted desiccant enhanced evaporative cooling air conditioning Ssystem
No full textThe desiccant enhanced evaporative cooling system is proposed as a promising energy-saving air-conditioning (A/C) scheme. It consists of hybrid liquid desiccant dehumidifier and indirect evaporative cooler. The hot and humid air is firstly dehumidified by liquid desiccant dehumidifier (LDD) and then sensibly cooled by regenerative indirect evaporative cooler (RIEC). The LDD-RIEC system operates without electricity-intensive compressor but with low-power-consumption solution pumps and water pumps. The heat captured by the solar collector is used for regenerating the desiccant solution. The solar collector model, LDD model and RIEC model were established separately to facilitate the hybrid system simulation in a closed-loop. The influence of solar collector area is analyzed. The energy saving potential of the proposed system is quantitatively evaluated with respect to the mechanical vapor compressor refrigeration (MVCR) system. The results show that both the moisture remove rate and cooling capacity improves with the increase of solar collector area. The LDD-RIEC A/C system saves 47% energy consumption compared with MVCR system in Hong Kong summer days
Innovation and user behavior for enhancement in bike sharing programme.
No full textBike sharing is one of the fastest growing transportation mode for its environmental and economical benefits. Originated in Europe, more bike sharing programmes start up annually in major cities in the world. Hong Kong has its first bike sharing system in 2017. This paper first identifies usages and operational problems of bike sharing within the existing systems and examines how innovation in user behavior can enhance and improve the relationship between bike sharing entrepreneurs and citizen’s interest in sports facilities. By looking deeply into how innovation in bike sharing can change the mobility in the city, improving traffic network and connectivity in the urban setting, this study will identify key issues related to user behavior and other mis-use which lead to failure of most bike sharing operations. In essence, business operations, traffic departments and citizens can benefit from the insight of this study. By utilizing research methods such as case studies and questionnaire survey, the research compares and contrasts operational issues between Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. In addition, questionnaire survey will identify major bike usage pattern in daily commute use and therefore can shed light to the impact of bicycle mis-use and rationale. By identifying transportation pattern in high-density cities with relationship with urban amenities such as parking facilities, the research findings gained from this paper can be beneficial to other small and big business operators as well as city planners on how innovation can help or develop better bike-sharing systems.
