Linking indoor air quality, ventilation, moisture control, and desiccants to future air conditioning practices.

Author(s) : KOSAR D.

Summary

Desiccant technology will play an increasing role in addressing the indoor air quality (IAQ) issue and solving the associated problems. Desiccants are not new to HVAC, since the 1930's the technology has been applied to control humidity in moisture sensitive manufacturing processes and to prevent moisture regain, corrosion and mold/mildew on raw materials and finished goods in storage. Now in the 1990's, multiple suppliers of desiccant based enthalpy exchangers and dehumidifiers are competing to ally themselves with numerous HVAC packagers including large mainstream HVAC companies. One post 2000 paradigm based on IAQ as market driver, links the problem of uncontrolled moisture resulting from increased ventilation air volumes to the solution provided by desiccant based HVAC.
