Summary

Calcium chloride is considered as the desiccant. Four different random packing materials and three different structured packing materials are considered. The effects of the random packing shape and the type of structured packing on the hydraulic performance are studied. It is found that the structured packing has a lower pressure drop and higher capacity compared with random packing.
