Similarity of coupled heat and mass transfer between air–water and air–liquid desiccant direct-contact systems

Packed-bed heat and mass transfer devices are widely used in air-conditioning systems, such as cooling tower, evaporative cooler of air–water direct-contact devices, dehumidifier and regenerator of air–liquid desiccant direct-contact devices. Similarities of heat and mass transfer characteristics between air–water and air–liquid desiccant devices are considered and investigated in this paper. Same reachable handling region of outlet air can be obtained for both air–water and air–liquid desiccant devices, which is among three boundary lines, isenthalpic line of inlet air, iso-relative humidity line of inlet fluid (water or desiccant), and the connecting line of inlet statuses of air and fluid. Inlet conditions of air and fluid affect heat and mass transfer characteristics to some extent, so that a zonal method is proposed only according to the relative statuses of inlet air to inlet fluid. Four zones, dehumidification zones A, D and regeneration zones B, C, are divided for air-desiccant direct-contact devices. The first three zones A, B and C are divided for air–water direct-contact devices, with the same zonal properties as those of air-desiccant devices. In order to obtain better humidification performance, fluid should be heated (in zone C) rather than air (in zone B). And fluid should be cooled (in zone A) rather than air (in zone D) to obtain better dehumidification performance. Counter-flow pattern should be applied for best mass transfer performance in the same conditions within the recommended zone A or C, while parallel-flow pattern is the best in zone B or D.     

Condenser heat recovery with a PV/T air heating collector to regenerate desiccant for reducing energy use of an air conditioning room

This paper presents an experimental test along with procedures to investigate the validity of a developed simulation model in predicting the dynamic performance of a condenser heat recovery with a photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) air heating collector to regenerate desiccant for reducing energy use of an air conditioning room under the prevailing meteorological conditions in tropical climates. The system consists of five main parts; namely, living space, desiccant dehumidification and regeneration unit, air conditioning system, PV/T collector, and air mixing unit. The comparisons between the experimental results and the simulated results using the same meteorological data of the experiment show that the prediction results simulated by the model agree satisfactorily with those observed from the experiments. The thermal energy generated by the system can produce warm dry air as high as 53 °C and 23% relative humidity. Additionally, electricity of about 6% of the daily total solar radiation can be obtained from the PV/T collector in the system. Moreover, the use of a hybrid PV/T air heater, incorporated with the heat recovered from the condenser to regenerate the desiccant for dehumidification, can save the energy use of the air conditioning system by approximately 18%.

Energy savings potential of a desiccant assisted hybrid air source heat pump system for residential building in hot summer and cold winter zone in China

In hot summer and cold winter zone in China, air conditioning system has four running modes yearly including cooling with dehumidification, cooling, dehumidification and heating in residential buildings. The conventional air source heat pump (ASHP) system is not designed to independently control temperature and humidity, and is not very suitable for the dehumidification mode in the view of building energy consumption. A novel ASHP system combining radiant cooling/heating for residential buildings was presented. The main feature of this hybrid ASHP system is that desiccant wheel and cooling coil accomplish dehumidification process together, and the regenerative heat needed by the desiccant wheel is supplied by the condenser dissipated heat. Based on simulation studies and performance analysis, this paper predicts the primary energy consumption of the hybrid ASHP system in comparison with the conventional ASHP system during the cooling and heating seasons. It was found that primary energy requirement can be reduced by more than 8% in cooling with dehumidification mode, by 50% in dehumidification mode, and by more than 14% in heating mode. The study results prove that the hybrid ASHP system can keep great energy saving and running cost saving yearly, especially in the dehumidification process.     

Comparative study on internally heated and adiabatic regenerators in liquid desiccant air conditioning system

Liquid desiccant regeneration has important effect on performance of a liquid desiccant air conditioning system. Compared with conventional packed regenerator, internally heated regenerator is proposed to achieve better regeneration performance. This study emphasized on both regeneration rate and regeneration thermal efficiency to evaluate the performance of both regenerators. A validated heat and mass transfer model was used to analyse and compare the performance of internally heated and adiabatic regenerators. The results indicated that internally heated regenerator not only could increase the regenerate rate, but also could exhibit higher energy utilization efficiency. Different from adiabatic regenerator, internally heated regenerator can provide comparable regeneration efficiency and regeneration rate at low desiccant flow rate, so it should be a good alternative to avoid carryover of desiccant droplets. Higher air flow rate would result in a deduction of regeneration thermal efficiency although achieving higher regeneration rate. Suitable flow rate of the air should be considered carefully in liquid desiccant regeneration. The internally regenerator could have considerable prospect in liquid desiccant air conditioning application.     

Experimental study on a residential temperature-humidity separate control air-conditioner

According to the temperature and moisture characteristics and current problems experienced in the Yangtze River Area, a temperature-humidity separate control air conditioner was developed. This unit can remove indoor sensible heat and latent heat load separately, and adjust indoor temperature and humidity respectively, thus improve indoor comfort and reduce energy consumption. The air-conditioner consists of an air cooling evaporator and a water cooling evaporator. Orthogonal experiments were designed to study the influence of outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, compressor frequency, and refrigerant distribution ratio in air cooling evaporator (RDRAE) on the unit performance. The results showed that the dehumidification capacity ranged from 0 to 4.02 kg/h; the EER ranged from 2.71 to 4.57; the cooling capacity ranged from 6822 to 13,080 W. The results can help to make the control logic of the unit, and be used as the basis of energy consumption calculation. Units with temperature and humidity separate control could save about 15.6% of the cooling energy consumption against traditional residential air-conditioner, and 47.8% against the traditional residential air-conditioner that could control both indoor temperature and humidity.

液体除湿空调系统的研究分析

在液体除湿过程中,空气与溶液之间发生的传热、传质作用是相互影响的,空气中的水蒸气分压力与溶液表面上的饱和蒸气压力差为两者之间的传质作用提供动力。由于除湿溶液喷淋在填料表面的同时,能够对流经填料之间的空气起到除尘过滤的作用,从而降低了空气中颗粒物的浓度,提高了进入室内空气的品质。但因空气和除湿溶液在填料表面直接接触进行传热传质,容易发生除湿空气夹带液体进入室内,因此对除湿空调系统做了湿式除尘以及泡沫夹带进行相关理论分析。     

Study on a novel thermally driven air conditioning system with desiccant dehumidification and regenerative evaporative cooling

Existing desiccant cooling systems reduce the temperature of process air either by adopting evaporative coolers or incorporating vapor compression systems. While the former is restricted by inaccurate control, the latter still consumes certain quantity of electric power. To solve this problem, a thermally driven air conditioning system, which combines the technologies of rotary desiccant dehumidification and regenerative evaporative cooling, has been proposed and investigated. In addition to dehumidification, the system is capable of producing chilled water, thereby realizing separate temperature and humidity control without increasing electrical load. To find out the characteristics of produced chilled water and evaluate the feasibility and energy saving potential of this novel system, a mathematical model has been developed. Case studies have been conducted under Air conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) summer, ARI humid and Shanghai summer conditions. It is found that the system can achieve a thermal COP higher than 1.0 and an electric COP about 8.0. The temperature of chilled water produced by the system is around 14–20 °C. This chilled water can be used with capillary tube mats for radiant cooling. It is suggested that the system can also be designed as a standalone chilled water plant. As a desiccant dehumidification-based chilled water producing technology, this would expand desiccant cooling to a boarder niche application. The effects of chilled water flow rate, air distribution ratio, inlet air conditions and regeneration temperature have been analyzed in detail. Reachable handling regions, which will be helpful to system design and optimization, have been obtained.

Performance of combined displacement ventilation and cooled ceiling liquid desiccant membrane system in Beirut climate

The performance of the chilled ceiling (CC) displacement ventilation (DV) systems is constrained by latent load removal capacity and cost of supply air dehumidification to prevent condensation on the ceiling. In this study, a liquid desiccant dehumidification membrane cycle (LDMC) is mathematically modelled to replace the CC and remove directly latent and sensible load from indoor space through the membrane. The desiccant system is coupled with the DV system. An optimized operational strategy is adopted while allowing ceiling temperature to drop to lower values than conventional CC/DV. The optimized LDMC-C/DV system was implemented in an office space in Beirut climate. It was found that decreasing the membrane liquid desiccant temperature resulted in a significant decrease in the total cooling energy of the system, while increasing the solar heating energy of the desiccant regeneration. At optimal set points, a decrease of 49% in energy consumption was observed compared to the conventional CC/DV system.     

Feasibility and performance analysis of a desiccant solution regenerator using hot air

This paper investigated a desiccant solution regenerator using hot air to concentrate diluted desiccant solution, aiming to utilize the waste heat of hot air, such as the hot air from the condensers of vapor compression refrigeration systems. To verify the feasibility of the utilization of the hot air for the desiccant solution regeneration and disclose the performance of such kind of regenerators, performance analysis was conducted numerically by a validated mathematical model and parametric distribution of the air in a typical case was explored. The results showed that it was possible to use hot air for the desiccant solution regeneration when the requirement of the lowest inlet solution temperature was met and a typical case showed that the suggested hot air temperature was around 65 °C. Effects of main operation parameters on the regeneration thermal efficiency and regeneration rate were discussed and the result showed the regeneration thermal efficiency could achieve the maximum (η_{reg, max}) when the R was around 8 and lower flow rate of the desiccant could achieve higher η_{reg, max}. In addition, effects of dimensions of the regenerator on the regeneration performance were disclosed and some suggestions of design of the regenerators were introduced based on the study.     

Experimental investigation and theoretical analysis of solar heating and humidification system with desiccant rotor

In this paper, a solar heating system, which combines the technologies of evacuated tube solar air collector and rotary desiccant humidification together, has been configured, tested and modeled. The system mainly includes 15 m² solar air collectors and a desiccant air-conditioning unit. Two operation modes are designed, namely, direct solar heating mode and solar heating with desiccant humidification mode. Performance model of the system has been created in TRNSYS. The objective of this paper is to check the applicability of solar heating and evaluate the feasibility and potential of desiccant humidification for improving indoor thermal comfort. Experimental results show that the solar heating system can convert about 50% of the received solar radiation for space heating on a sunny day in winter and increases indoor temperature by about 10 °C. Compared with direct solar heating mode, solar heating with desiccant humidification can increase the fraction of the time within comfort region from about 10% to 20% for standalone solar heating and from about 30% to 60% for solar heating with auxiliary heater according to seasonal analysis. It is confirmed that solar heating with desiccant humidification is promising and worthwhile being applied to improving indoor thermal comfort in heating season.     

Development and testing of two-stage evaporative cooler

Evaporative cooling has been proved as an effective method of storage of fruits and vegetables of moderate respiration rates. Therefore, a modified evaporative cooler named two-stage evaporative cooler (TSEC) has been developed to improve the efficiency of evaporative cooling for high humidity and low temperature air conditioning. Two-stage evaporative cooler consists of the heat exchanger and two evaporative cooling chambers. The performance of cooler has been evaluated in terms of temperature drop, efficiency of the evaporative cooling and effectiveness of TSEC over single evaporation. The temperature drop through TSEC ranged from 8 to 16 °C. With the several observations for diurnal runs, it was observed that TSEC could drop the temperature up to wet bulb depression of ambient air and provided the 90% relative humidity. Efficiency of single evaporation was 85–90%. Effectiveness of the two-stage evaporative cooling was found to be 1.1–1.2 over single evaporation. The two-stage evaporative cooler provided the room conditions as 17–25 °C temperature and 50–75% relative humidity, which can enable to enhance the shelf-life of wide range of fruit and vegetables of moderate respiration rates.     

Modeling and simulation of desiccant wheel for air conditioning

This paper presents the modeling of a desiccant wheel used for dehumidifying the ventilation air of an air-conditioning system. The simulation of the combined heat and mass transfer processes that occur in a solid desiccant wheel is carried out with MATLAB Simulink. Using the numerical method, the performance of an adiabatic rotary dehumidifier is parametrically studied, and the optimal rotational speed is determined by examining the outlet adsorption-side humidity profiles. The solutions of the simulation at different conditions used in air dehumidifier have been investigated according to the previous published studies. The model is validated through comparison the simulated results with the published actual values of an experimental work. This method is useful to study and modelling of solid desiccant dehumidification and cooling system. The modeling solutions are used to develop simple correlations for the outlet air conditions of humidity and temperature of air through the wheel as a function of the physically measurable input variables. These correlations will be used to simulate the desiccant cooling cycle in an HVAC system in order to define the year round efficiency.
