Abstract

Theoretical and experimental investigation on the desorption characteristics of a packed porous bed is presented in this study. The granules of burned clay are applied as a desiccant carrier. Calcium chloride is used as the working desiccant. The theoretical model defines the transient gradient of air stream parameters (humidity and temperature) as well as desiccant concentration in the bed. In the experimental study, transient concentration gradient in the bed is evaluated by weight method. The bed is divided into seven separate layers. Air stream at low temperature and nearly constant inlet parameters are used for desorption purposes. Concentration gradient in the bed is found highly dependent on the mass transfer rate. For the specified operating conditions and stated assumptions, experimental measurements shows acceptable agreement with the analytical solution.
