Energy recovery, evaporative cooling and multiple evaporator are regarded as the effective and energy-efficient techniques to improve the energy efficiency of air conditioning system and reduce building energy consumption. In this paper, a parametric analysis and energy-saving potential evaluation for a new hybrid air conditioning system (HAC) under hot-humid climates are carried out theoretically based on detailed models. The proposed HAC incorporates into a dual-evaporator air conditioning system with an independent fresh air conditioner for both total and sensible energy recovery. One evapo...
