Development of a generalized model for performance evaluation of packed-type liquid sorbent dehumidifiers and regenerators.

Author(s) : KHAN A. Y., BALL H. D.

Summary

In order to estimate the annual energy consumption of packed-type liquid sorbent dehumidifiers and regenerators, a two-stage approach was used to develop a mathematical model. The results obtained from the model were then used to develop a simplified algebraic model suitable for hourly performance evaluation of packed dehumidifiers and regenerators. For situations dealing with several absorbers and one regenerator combined into a system, and/or when a transfer interchanger is used, the model can be used to predict the overall heat and coolant requirements.
