EXPERIMENTAL STUDY CONCERNING MASS TRANSFER INSIDE THE PACKED COLUMN OF SOLAR COOLING LIQUID DESICCANT SYSTEM USING COUNTER FLOW CONFIGURATION
ABSTRACT: Desiccant systems
have been proposed
as energy saving
alternatives to vapor
compression air conditioning for
handling the latent
load. Use of
liquid desiccants offers
several design and
performance advantages over solid desiccants, especially when solar
energy is used for regeneration. The liquid desiccants contact the gas inside the packed column and
the heat transfer and mass transfer will occur. This proposal is trying
to study the
mass transfer and
heat transfer inside
the packed column
of dehumidifier and
regenerator systems. And later on, the rates of dehumidification and
regeneration that were affected by desiccant flow rates, air temperature and
humidity, and desiccant temperature and all that variation will influence the
performance of the systems.
