Summary
For many commercial and industrial plants, maintaining required ventilation rates can result in a significant operating cost. Fortunately, passive (i.e. enthalpy exchanger) and active (dehumidifying) desiccant systems can be used to reduce the load on the HVAC equipment and reduce its operating cost. The potential cost savings and return on investments have to be assessed individually for each application and solved on an hourly basis. It was found that using average conditions of climate and energy costs data and simplified load characteristics for such an evaluation can lead to a false application conclusion.
