【 摘 要 】

In order to reduce the fuel consumption of air-conditioning in vehicle, an air conditioning system was designed based on the principle of direct evaporative cooling and liquid dehumidification. In this paper, main devices were conducted in the way of numerical simulation and experiment, the overall layout of the device was designed under the guidance of Solidworks. The results showed that the high temperature and humidity air could be changed into the livable air. In particular, the regenerator could be operated with waste heat from the engine for higher energy efficiency. It can achieve the effect of the temperature dropped by 5-7°C. which need less energy than the traditional car air-conditioning while satisfy the comfort of the human body.
