Controlling rotary desiccant wheels for dehumidification and cooling.

Author(s) : CROOKS K. W., BANKS N. J.

Summary

With greater focus on indoor air quality and ventilation, humidity control within spaces such as office buildings, hotels, schools, ice-skating rinks, nursing homes, and operating rooms has become paramount during the past decade. Control of relative humidity has been linked to increased comfort and the improved health of building occupants. The desiccant wheel process can be utilized in these applications to provide increased dehumidification while introducing minimal additional control parameters, often at lower cost.
