本研究探討Nanocool液體除濕空調系統在不同操作模態下的室內環境條件，以及分析比較不同操作模態下的重要參數。
Nanocool液體除濕空調系統是一個混合式的液體除濕系統 (Hybrid liquid desiccant system, HLDS)，此系統主要由三大單元組成，分別為空調箱 (Air handling unit, AHU)、液體除濕劑系統 (Liquid desiccant system, LDS)及
多功能單元 (Polyvalent unit, PU)。此系統於2015年9月開始提供台灣科技大學游泳池更衣室的空調，由於更衣室位於地下室，長期通風不佳，且易生長黴菌，故Nanocool液體除濕空調系統以機械通風 (Mechanical ventilation)的形式
提供空調，Na-\\nocool液體除濕空調系統有兩個相同型號的風扇，一為供應 (Supply)的風扇，另一為回風 (Return)的風扇，此二風扇供應及回風的質量流率皆相同，使更衣室形成一個平衡通風系統 (Balanced ventilation system)。

本實驗共有五種操作模態，分別有:
系統操作模式(一):空調箱、液體除濕劑系統及多功能單元三大單元全開啟；
系統操作模式(二):空調箱及多功能單元開啟，液體除濕劑系統關閉；
系統操作模式(三):空調箱及液體除濕劑系統開啟，多功能單元關閉；
系統操作模式(四):空調箱開啟，液體除濕劑系統及多功能單元關閉；以及
系統操作模式(五):空調箱、液體除濕劑系統及多功能單元三大單元全關閉。\\
\indent實驗依據室外環境條件的不同而變換系統的操作模式，並且觀測更衣室內的溫、濕度狀態及熱移除率。
操作模式(一)用於室外環境空氣溫、濕度皆較高的時候，Exp-1的室外環境空氣溫度35$^o$C，相對濕度約53\%，絕對濕度約19 g/kg，供風空氣溫度21$^o$C，相對濕度約78\%，絕對濕度約12 g/kg，系統的顯熱移除率為13 kW，潛熱移除率為15 kW，
更衣室內顯熱移除為-7.2 kW，潛熱移除為-11.3 kW，性能係數(COP)1.63。
操作模式(二)用於室外環境空氣溫度較高，濕度較低的時候，Exp-2的室外環境空氣溫度29$^o$C，相對濕度約67\%，絕對濕度約17 g/kg，供風空氣溫度17$^o$C，相對濕度約77\%，絕對濕度約12 g/kg，系統的顯熱移除率為8.5 kW，潛熱移除率為11.5 kW，
更衣室內顯熱移除為-7.26 kW，潛熱移除為-10 kW，性能係數(COP)2.91。
操作模式(二)的性能係數(COP)高於操作模式(一)，若比較系統熱移除率操作模式(一)的熱移除表現優於操作模式(二)，而且操作模式(一)的更衣室內熱移除率也優於操作模式(二)。
操作模式(三)用於室外環境空氣溫度較低，濕度較高的時候，Exp-3的室外環境空氣溫度23$^o$C，相對濕度約78\%，絕對濕度約14 g/kg，供風空氣溫度27$^o$C，相對濕度約59\%，絕對濕度約13 g/kg，系統的顯熱移除率為-3 kW，潛熱移除率為1 kW，
更衣室內顯熱移除率為0.66 kW，潛熱移除率為-3.98 kW。由於操作模式(三)沒有提供冷水給液體除濕劑進行冷卻，當液體除濕劑吸收空氣中的水蒸氣後，潛熱會被釋放，導致空氣的溫度有點上升的狀況。
操作模式(四)用於室外環境空氣溫度及濕度都較低的時候，Exp-4的室外環境空氣溫度21$^o$C，相對濕度約67\%，絕對濕度約10.6 g/kg，更衣室內顯熱移除率-1.25 kW，潛熱移除率-4.5 kW；
Exp-4.1的室外環境空氣溫度25$^o$C，相對濕度約87\%，絕對濕度約18 g/kg，更衣室內顯熱移除率-0.39 kW，潛熱移除率-3.98 kW。
比較Exp-4及Exp-4.1兩組實驗可得知，若室外環境空氣溫、濕度都較低的話，更衣室內的顯熱及潛熱移除率表現都會比較好。

This study investigates the indoor air properties of the swimming pool locker rooms using the Nanocool liquid-desiccant air-conditioning system under different operation modes,
and analyzes the important parameters under different operation modes. Nanocool liquid-desiccant air-conditioning system is a hybrid liquid desiccant system (HLDS),
the system is consist of three units, the air handling unit (AHU), the liquid desiccant system (LDS) and the polyvalent unit (PU).
The system was used to supply the conditioned air in the locker rooms of the swimming pool in Taiwan Tech on September, 2015,
because the locker rooms are placed in basement make the ventilated effect is disadvantageous, and make the mold grow easily,
so the Nanocool liquid-desiccant system is the form of mechanical ventilation to supply conditioned air to locker rooms,
and there are two the same fans in Nanocool liquid-desiccant system, one is supply and the other one is return, and the air flow rate of these two fans are the same,
those make the locker rooms form a balanced ventilation system.

There are five operation modes for this experiment: the operation mode 1: the air handling unit (AHU), the liquid desiccant system (LDS) and the polyvalent unit (PU) are turned on;
the operation mode 2: the air handling unit (AHU) and the polyvalent unit (PU) are turned on, the liquid desiccant system (LDS) is turned off;
the operation mode 3: the air handling unit (AHU) and the liquid desiccant system (LDS) are turned on, the polyvalent unit (PU) is turned off;
the operation mode 4: the air handling unit (AHU) is turned on, the liquid desiccant system (LDS) and the polyvalent unit (PU) are turned off;
the operation mode 5: the air handling unit (AHU), the liquid desiccant system (LDS) and the polyvalent unit (PU) are turned off.\\

and the supply air temperature is 21$^o$C, the relative humidity is 78 \%, and the humidity ratio is 12 g/kg, the system sensible heat removal rate is 13 kW, the latent heat removal rate is 15 kW,
the locker room sensible heat removal rate is -7.2 kW, the latent heat removal rate is -11.3 kW, the COP is 1.63.

the locker room sensible heat removal rate is -7.26 kW, the latent heat removal rate is -10 kW, the COP is 2.91.
The COP of the operation mode 2 is higher than that of the operation mode 1, but the system and locker rooms of the heat removal rates of the operation mode 1 are better than those of the operation mode 2.

the locker room sensible heat removal rate is 0.66 kW, the latent heat removal rate is -3.98 kW. There is no cold water to cool the liquid desiccant, when the liquid desiccant absorb the water vapor,
the latent is released and the process air temperature increases.
The operation mode 4 operating for the ambient air temperature and humidity are lower, the Exp-4 ambient air temperature is 21$^o$C, the relative humidity is 67 \%, humidity ratio is 10.6 g/kg,
