Experimental study on mass transfer performances of cross flow dehumidifier using liquid desiccant

Investigation on a two-stage solar liquid-desiccant (LiBr) dehumidification system assisted by CaCl2 solution

“…1. Experimental results using CaCl 2 obtained by the authors, and those experimental results of LiBr dehumidifier reported by Liu et al [13] were also used to validate the model. Predicted dehumidifier effectiveness and enthalpy effectiveness have good agreement with experimental results.…”

Analytical solution of combined heat and mass transfer performance in a cross-flow packed bed liquid desiccant air dehumidifier

“…The assumptions used in the following analysis is that the moisture content absorbed by the liquid desiccant during the dehumidification process can be neglected compared with the desiccant mass flow rate, which is verified by lots of experimental results [14][15][16]. Therefore, constant liquid desiccant mass flow rate and constant concentration within the dehumidifier can be easily gained.…”

Water recovery from humidified waste gas streams: Quality control using membrane condenser technology

“…As a consequence, efficient technologies for reclamation of evaporated "waste" water and their reuse represent a critical industrial need. The technologies until now proposed for the capture of evaporated water from gaseous streams are: cooling with condensation [4], cryogenic separation, liquid and solid sorption [5], dense membranes or porous hydrophilic membranes [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages: -Adsorption of water by a liquid or solid desiccant is another valid alternative despite desiccant losses, cost and regeneration of adsorbent, and low quality of water are the main drawbacks.…”
