DUBLSORB: A UNIVERSAL DESICCANT HYBRID APPROACH.

Author(s) : WILKINSON W. H., LANDSTROM D. K., NOVOSEL D.

Summary

FOR APPLICATIONS SUCH AS SUPERMARKETS, WHICH TYPICALLY HAVE A HIGH LATENT LOAD AND HIGH VENTILATION RATES, DESICCANT HYBRID SYSTEMS PROVIDE BOTH TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL. TYPICAL DESICCANT HYBRID SYSTEMS INTEGRATE SEVERAL SUBSYSTEMS INCLUDING A DESICCANT SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF HUMIDITY, A COOLING TOWER TO PROVIDE EVAPORATIVE COOLING AND HEAT TRANSFER TO THE AMBIENT, A VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR AIR DISTRIBUTION AND MIXING, AND A CONVENTIONAL VAPOUR COMPRESSION CHILLER TO PROVIDE SENSIBLE COOLING. CONVENTIONALLY COOLED BUILDINGS ENCOUNTER PERIODS EACH YEAR WHEN RELATIVE HUMIDITY CANNOT BE MAINTAINED IN THE COMFORT ZONE WITHOUT SIGNIFICANTLY OVERSIZING THE EQUIPMENT. AN ADVANCED LIQUID DESICCANT HYBRID SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED.
