Critical review of coupled heat and mass transfer models for a liquid desiccant adiabatic dehumidifier and regenerator
Liquid desiccant dehumidification systems have been used for many years in specialized applications. The performance of liquid desiccant systems relies heavily on heat and mass transfer characteristics of two critical components: the dehumidifier and the regenerator. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of heat and mass transfer correlations developed to mathematically model the adiabatic absorption and desorption process. There has been an attempt to describe the most important characteristics of each research, such as the method adopted, the assumptions used, validation of the data, as well as the most important results. It was found that most work considers the desiccant solution flowing counter currently with air and the use of structured packing instead of random. Fewer researchers considered co-flow configuration or desiccants other than salts.
