I thought of that dessicant to dry the air but it will make the system complex it adds heat to the system that you will reject again later, lowering the system efficiency. Just make a cascade system. Separate the cooling medium and the air to be cooled so there is no need for dessicant. Natural dehumidification will occur just need to reach the dew point temperature. You can further improve its efficiency by removing the blower for the swamp cooler and put thermal stack (solar) on top of the swamp cooler discharge to draw air from the cooler (can be combined with blower when there is no sunlight).

@Tech Ingredients i'm an ventilation engineer and i really like your basic idea of that air conditioner. But i have to mention two things. First of all you can't calculate the watts of cooling by measuring the two different temperatures. You also have to measure the humidity of the inlet end outlet. You must calculate the coolingpower by the difference of enthalpy. The second thing is, that you have liquids (warm liquids) in a circulation, that are in contact with your airflow. That could result in a hygiene problem. Keep on going with your really cool ideas :)

[@RangerRick97]

I thought that with the CFM (cubic feet per minute) and Delta T (sensible thermal difference) you can at least calculate the sensible BTU's of this. Once you have the BTU's you can covert them into watts by dividing it by 3.412. this is just the sensible heat in the system not the total. Also could the hygiene problem be fixed by adding some sort of cleaning agent to the water flow( without it affecting phase change properties) I don't know enough to determine if this applies to this system or is accurate. I would love to know more if you could shed some light on the matter.

[@elektrotechnik2011]

For your second reasonable doubt, that there could be hygiene problems with warm liquids in contact with the airflow, I think I have the following solution (though it is a thought experiment): One could use a heat exchanger. This would preserve all the non-hygienic parts from the airflow itself and you had to clean only the condenser occasionally.

Hey - here is an idea: a final stack where you evaporate water in pre dried air. How about actually making the final stage a closed circulation and use water from it to be pumped into another radiator that takes air from the house and circulates it through it ? That way there is no contact of water and air that is being used for living space, so there should be no concerns of contamination. A small header tank with a floater could be used to replenish water directly from mains - after all water will be captured by desiccant and evacuated from the desiccant dehydration loop. Also I would suggest adding few coils of platinum here and there to inhibit bio growth in the system.
