Summary

As the cooling load increases due to global warming, it is necessary to develop technologies that can replace the conventional vapor compression cycle. One alternative is a membrane heat pump. In this paper, we studied about vacuum membrane dehumidification (VMD) systems which can separate only vapor from humid air. Dehumidification COP of each typical VMD systems are calculated and compared, respectively. After this, unconventional air conditioning system which latent heat removal part and sensible heat removal part are separated is constructed. Because the latent heat is removed first with dehumidification, the energy consumption for cooling is reduced so it is more efficient than conventional air conditioner. From the simulation, COP of air conditioner with dense membrane is calculated as 8.59. The simulation process and result can help construct the proper air conditioner with dense membrane, in reality.
