A comparison of heat and moisture behaviours in desiccant wheels for air dehumidification and enthalpy recovery.

Author(s) : ZHANG L. Z., NIU J. L.

Summary

A two-dimensional coupled heat and mass transfer model which takes into account the resistance of the solid in both the axial and the thickness directions is presented to simulate heat and mass transfers in a desiccant wheel. Through numerical simulations, the temperature and humidity profiles in the wheel during both the dehumidification and the enthalpy recovery processes were analysed. A comparison of heat and moisture transfer between dehumidification and enthalpy recovery processes is made.
