Desiccant cooling systems: a review (2016)
Journal Article
Sahlot, M., & Riffat, S. (2016). Desiccant cooling systems: a review. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 11(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctv032

Desiccant cooling systems have been considered as an efficient method of controlling moisture content in supply air. They do not use any ozone-depleting coolants and consume less energy as compared with the vapour compression systems. This communicat... Read More about Desiccant cooling systems: a review.

Testing and performance analysis of a hollow fiber-based core for evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant dehumidification (2016)
Journal Article
Jradi, M., & Riffat, S. (in press). Testing and performance analysis of a hollow fiber-based core for evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant dehumidification. International Journal of Green Energy, 13(13), https://doi.org/10.1080/15435075.2016.1183205

In this study, an innovative heat and mass transfer core is proposed to provide thermal comfort and humidity control using a hollow fiber contactor with multiple bundles of micro-porous hollow fibers. The hollow fiber-based core utilizes 12 bundles a... Read More about Testing and performance analysis of a hollow fiber-based core for evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant dehumidification.

A smart building material for low/zero carbon applications: heat insulation solar glass—characteristic results from laboratory andin situtests (2016)
Journal Article
Cuce, E., & Riffat, S. (2017). A smart building material for low/zero carbon applications: heat insulation solar glass—characteristic results from laboratory andin situtests. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 12(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctw009

Heat insulation solar glass (HISG) is a recently developed smart building material to minimize energy consumption of building sector. HISG might be presumed to be a conventional photovoltaic glazing product; however, it is completely unique by having...
