Abstract

In the present work, theoretical and experimental evaluation of the effect of bed configuration and operating conditions on the performance of desiccant dehumidification system has been carried out. A new rotating absorption disk has been designed and constructed to be tested in the experimental work. The desiccant wheel has a cylindrical shape of 50-cm diameter and 10cm thickness. The flow area of this bed is consisted of 350 narrow slots, which are uniformly distributed over the cross section of the cylindrical bed. Each slot has a cylindrical shape and constructed from a steel spring of 100mm length and 20mm inside diameter. To form the absorbing surface in the bed, each spring is coated with a thick cloth layer impregnated with lithium chloride solution, which is used as the working desiccant in these experiments.
