Abstract

A novel transport model is developed for a space conditioned by a cooled liquid desiccant dehumidification membrane ceiling (LDMC-C) and displacement ventilation DV in which the space is divided into three zones: an occupied cool with fresh air zone; an upper recirculation zone; and a ceiling adjacent boundary layer zone where the air is drawn at the exhaust grill. The adjacent air boundary layer at the ceiling membrane predicted the latent and sensible heat transfer to the desiccant solution. The boundary model was validated experimentally in a climatic chamber.
