EFFECT OF MATRIX PROPERTIES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A COUNTERFLOW ROTARY DEHUMIDIFIER.

Author(s) : JURINAK J. J., MITCHELL J. W.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE MATRIX PROPERTIES CONSIDERED ARE THE SORPTION ISOTHERM SHAPE, THE MAXIMUM SORBENT WATER CONTENT, THE HEAT OF SORPTION, THE MATRIX THERMAL CAPACITANCE, MATRIX MOISTURE DIFFUSIVITY, AND SORPTION ISOTHERM HYSTERESIS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE SHAPE OF THE ISOTHERM HAS A GREATER EFFECT ON DEHUMIDIFICATION THAN THE MAXIMUM WATER CONTENT. LARGE ADSORPTION HEAT EFFECTS OR MATRIX THERMAL CAPACITANCE HAS A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT OF DEHUMIDIFICATION. HYSTERESIS IN THE ADSORPTION ISOTHERM SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRS DEHUMIDIFIER PERFORMANCE. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SOLID DESICCANTS CAN RESULT IN NEARLY OPTIMAL DEHUMIDIFIER PERFORMANCE.
