RECIRCULATION OF PURGED FLOW IN AN ADIABATIC COUNTERFLOW ROTARY DEHUMIDIFIER.

Author(s) : JURINAK J. J., MITCHELL J. W.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AVERAGE PROCESS STREAM OUTLET HUMIDITY RATIO OF AN ADIABATIC COUNTERFLOW DEHUMIDIFIER CAN BE LOWERED IF A PORTION OF THE PROCESS OUTLET STREAM IS PURGED FROM THE BULK FLOW. THE PURGED STREAM CAN BE RECIRCULATED AND INTRODUCED AT THE INLET OF THE REGENERATING PERIOD. IN THIS PAPER, THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH A PURGED COUNTERFLOW DEHUMIDIFIER IS STUDIED. WAVE DIAGRAM SOLUTIONS FOR THE LIMITING CASE OF INFINITE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS ARE USED TO QUALITATIVELY PREDICT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PURGED DEHUMIDIFIER. A FINITE DIFFERENCE SOLUTION IS USED TO VERIFY THE GENERAL TRENDS OF THE APPROXIMATE WAVE DIAGRAM SOLUTIONS.
