Performance Enhancement of Rotary Desiccant Wheel by Innovative Designs of Multiple Desiccant Layers
2016Rotary Desiccant wheel in the desiccant air conditioning system is used for the dehumidification of process air by adsorption of water vapour by the desiccant (porous media) layer. And while the hot air which is heated up by the heater (or waste heat recovered from other equipments) flows through regeneration side, water is desorbed out from the ...

Limiting performance mechanisms in desiccant wheel dehumidification
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2012Abstract Desiccant cooling is an environmentally attractive alternative to conventional mechanical air-conditioning. The heart of the process is the rotary desiccant wheel which is used to dehumidify air. Recent experimental measurements of wheels with proposed alternative materials at low regeneration temperatures ( Here a numerical model of a ...

Experimental Investigation of Composite Desiccant Wheel Dehumidifier
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2015Desiccant wheel dehumidifier is filled with solid desiccants, looks like a honeycomb structure which is open on both ends. Air is allowed to pass through the honeycomb passages, giving moisture to the solid desiccant contained in the wheel. The wheel constantly rotates through two separate air streams.

Modeling and Analysis of Desiccant Wheel
2016Desiccant cooling systems have advantages in environmentally friendly operation and separate control of sensible and latent cooling loads, which leads to comfortable indoor air quality. In addition, the desiccant cooling system is a heat-driven cycle and therefore has the ability to use low-grade energy.

Experimental investigations on thin polymer desiccant wheel performance
International Journal of Refrigeration, 2014Abstract In this study, the performance of a new polymer desiccant wheel (DW), which can be used for dehumidification in a solid desiccant cooling system, was investigated. In order to investigate the compact design of the DW for compact cooling system, DWs were evaluated at four levels of thickness while varying the inlet air temperature, humidity ...
