Prospects for desiccants in refrigerated facility applications.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

At both design and the single off-design condition analyzed, a desiccant unit used for space condition a dock area led to increased operating costs compared to a system using air-cooling units with hot-gas reheat for humidity control. Whether or not there is a first cost savings associated with the desiccant option will depend on the cost impact of the refrigeration system design requiring the additional evaporator and reheat coils versus the cost of the desiccant unit and installation of natural gas service for regeneration.
