Heat and moisture exchange in counterflow rotary air dehumidifier.

Author(s) : ANISIMOV S.

Summary

This present work has theoretically investigated coupled heat and mass exchange mechanisms in counterflow rotary dehumidifier with the mixed desiccant of LiCl and additives, used in air-conditioning systems. Analysis shows, that the direction of mass transfer is opposite to positive water vapour partial pressure. The results are presented in the form of the "overall effectiveness" of the heat exchanger. Dimensionless operating factors, affecting the efficiency of the heat exchanger have been investigated. The obtained results offer scope for estimation of variation range of rotary dehumidifier optimum operating conditions and suitable climatic zones for this unit.
