Desiccant Dehumidification System for Space Radiant Cooling in Tropical Climate

摘要

This paper presents an experimental and simulation study on application of a rotating desiccant dehumidification system under a tropical climate. The system was used to dehumidify the ventilation air before supplying to a space where a radiant cooling system was installed to provide thermal comfort. In the study, a computer program of the desiccant system was coded and used to evaluate the system performances. The experimental results show good agreement with the results from coded program. Using the program, the simulation results demonstrate that the desiccant system can reduce and handle the load of the ventilation air. The results also show that in order to remove the whole latent load, the minimum regeneration temperature is 80°C.
