Author(s) : MECKLER G.

Summary

A TWO-STAGE DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED THAT SIG NIFICANTLY INCREASES THE THERMAL COP OF DESICCANT REGENERATION IN COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS. THE FIRST STAGE IS A DESICCANT-IMPREGNATED ENTHALPY EXCHANGE WHEEL THAT ACCOMPLISHES 30 TO 50% OF THE DEHUMIDIFICATION TASK WITHOUT REQUIRING EXTERNAL, UTILITY-GENERATED HEAT TO RECONSTITUTE THE DESICCANT. DESCRIBED ARE THE TWO-STAGE DESICCANT SYSTEM'S CONTRIBUTION TO THERMAL EFFICIENCY AND ALTERNATIVE HVAC SYSTEMS INCORPORATING TWO-STAGE DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFICATION FOR BOTH NEW AND EXISTING COMMERCIAL FACILITIES SUCH AS OFFICE BUILDINGS, SUPERMARKETS, AND RESTAURANTS ; AND THE SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT, DEHUMIDIFICATION PROCESS, AND REGENERATION HEAT REQUIREMENT AND SOURCES IN AN ACTUAL APPLICATION IN A TWO-STORY, 8,100 M2 BUILDING IN WASHINGTON.
