Summary

A liquid desiccant system (using calcium chloride) is presented for air dehumidification using solar energy or any other low-grade energy to power the system. The system utilizes two packed beds of counterflow between an air stream and a solution of liquid desiccant for the processes of air dehumidification and solution regeneration. A finite-difference model is developed to model the heat and mass transfer in packed beds during the air dehumidification mode and the solution regeneration mode. Charts of the effectiveness of heat and mass transfer are presented.
