APPLICATION OF A DESICCANT COOLING SYSTEM TO SUPERMARKETS.

Author(s) : CALTON D. S.

Summary

FIELD ANALYSIS OF A DESICCANT-ASSISTED HVAC SYSTEM SHOWS THAT REDUCED CIRCULATED AIR FLOW RATES OF .5 CFM/FT2 OF SALES AREA ARE POSSIBLE. AN AIR-DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY OF SUPPLYING TWO-THIRDS OF THE AIR TO THE FRONT OF THE STORE AND RETURNING AIR UNDER THE REFRIGERATED FIXTURES WAS EMPLOYED. REDUCING STORE RH TO 40% HAS SHOWN A REDUCTION IN REFRIGERATED FIXTURE LOAD AND FROST FORMATION. THE TOTAL PACKAGE SYSTEM USES HEAT RECLAIM FROM THE REFRIGERATING CONDENSING UNITS FOR WINTER HEATING OF THE STORE. THE DESICCANT-REGENERATION AIR IS PREHEATED BY RECLAIMING A PORTION OF THE HEAT OF REJECTION FROM AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSING UNITS.
