Performance investigation and exergy analysis of air-handling processes using liquid desiccant and a desiccant wheel
Air-dehumidification systems using liquid desiccant and a desiccant wheel are common approaches using desiccant for air humidity control. This article focuses on the performance of air-dehumidification systems using liquid desiccant and a desiccant wheel. Based on basic air-handling processes using desiccants, the characteristics of the driving forces are investigated with the help of an unmatched coefficient ξ and exergy analysis. The performace of liquid desiccant and desiccant wheel systems is investigated, and approaches for improvement are proposed. It is indicated that the temperature difference ΔT or humidity ratio difference Δω in the liquid desiccant process is influenced by the inlet state of the air and solution. The liquid desiccant process heating solution, rather than air, for regeneration is optimal from the perspective of lowering ξ and reducing unmatched destruction. The ξ is approaching 1 between air and solid desiccant, i.e., the driving force is relatively uniform with the same dehumidification and regeneration regions. A multi-stage process is supposed to be effective for optimizing the desiccant wheel system, helping to reduce the exergy destruction arising from the unmatched coefficient. The present study is beneficial to cast light on the relationship between air-dehumidification systems using liquid desiccant and a desiccant wheel.
