N2 - This investigation describes the performance study of a novel Integrated Active Desiccant-Vapor Compression Hybrid Rooftop (IADR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in heating mode. The tests were performed at two different ratios of outdoor/return air. Analysis of performance characteristics under each operating mode, including heating capacity and energy efficiency ratio, are given. Results of defrost cycle are also presented. Comparison between the experimental performance of IADR unit and the calculated performance of other commercially available heat pump systems at comparable operating conditions has been conducted.
