Popis:	India is the first major tropical country which has set out to widen her industrial dimensions. The prevailing wet bulb temperatures in many parts of the country vary between 80–85°F. In this process the scientists and engineers have to face the problem of the heat of the process added to the heat of the atmosphere. This often results in working conditions beyond the limits of human endurance and a considerable drop in productivity of operators. The high wet bulb temperatures rule out the possibility of using evaporative cooling and the high cost of maintenance and operation eliminate the use of airconditioning with refrigeration. The object of this study is to explore the possibilities of the utilization of solar energy in conjunction with different systems for the dehydration and cooling of air, and to endeavour to establish one which will be most suited under the Indian conditions. An adsorption or absorption system of dehumidi-fication with sensible and evaporative cooling of air appears to show promise.
