Author(s) : ZOGRAFOS A. I., PETROFF C.

Summary

THE APPLICATION OF LIQUID DESICCANTS TO CONVENTIONAL SPACE CONDITIONING HAS RECEIVED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF ATTENTION IN RECENT YEARS. THE STATE-OF-THE-ART RESIDENTIAL LIQUID DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER USES A PARALLEL-PLATE CROSSFLOW CONDITIONER HEAT EXCHANGER WHERE LATENT LOAD IS REMOVED FROM THE INDOOR AIRSTREAM THROUGH EVAPORATIVE COOLING. A NUMERICAL MODEL WAS DEVELOPED TO EVALUATE AN IMPROVED COUNTERFLOW CONDITIONER DESIGN, WHICH MAY OFFER SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE AND COST ADVANTAGES.
