ShareThe use of heat pipe heat exchangers for enhanced dehumidification.
Author(s) : HILL J. M., JETER S. M.
Summary
The effect of a heat pipe heat exchanger on air conditioning performance was evaluated through a combination of a detailed heat pipe heat exchanger thermal node model and a model for the air conditioning system implemented through performance maps. Significant increases in moisture-removal capacity and efficiency were observed. The redesign of a conventional evaporator produced a nominal reduction in sensible heat ratio through the reduction of sensible capacity but did not increase latent capacity or moisture-removal efficiency. This suggested that the use of a heat pipe heat exchanger offers significant improvements in moisture control and overall efficiency over the use of a specially designed cooling coil in combination with reheat.
