Performance analysis on the internally cooled dehumidifier using liquid desiccant

Liu, X.H. / Chang, X.M. / Xia, J.J. / Jiang, Y.

AbstractDehumidifier is one of the most important components in liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems. Previous study shows that the internally cooled dehumidifier may have better mass transfer performance than the adiabatic unit. The effect of flow pattern, especially the flow direction of air to desiccant on the internally cooled dehumidifier performance is numerically analyzed in detail. The result shows that counter-flow configuration of air to desiccant has better dehumidification performance, and parallel-flow configuration performs the poorest with the same conditions, due to more uniform mass transfer driving force expressed in the counter-flow configuration. The decrease of the desiccant concentration is the main factor that influences the internally cooled dehumidifier's performance, while the increase of the desiccant temperature is the main performance restricting factor in adiabatic dehumidifier. Internally cooled dehumidifier has better mass transfer performance compared with adiabatic dehumidifier plus external heat exchanger.
