Field Test of Adsorption Desiccant Air-Conditioning System Utilizing Waste Heat from Micro-Gas-Turbine Dynamos.

Performance of VOC Abatement by Thermal Swing Honeycomb Rotor Adsorbers

“…Seibu Giken Co., Ltd., Fukuoka, Japan, which the present authors are concerned in, had commercialized a honeycomb rotor dehumidifier in 1984 as an extension of their corrugation technology developed in cumulative heat exchangers some years before they put the VOC concentrators into market in 1988. The dehumidifier was applied later to the adsorptive desiccant cooling system, and the heat/mass transfer properties of the dehumidifier itself and the cooling system have been analyzed by Kodama et al, − Okano et al, and Jin et al Recently, Matsukuma et al , analyzed a potential application of the honeycomb rotor adsorber to CO 2 recovery other than dehumidification. As for the thermal swing VOC concentrator, thermal effects for a cyclic adsorption process have been discussed by Ko et al, Gales et al, Sullivan et al, Nastaj et al., and Matsukuma et al , However, they discussed particle packed beds 8-11 instead of honeycomb type, a combined temperature-pressure swing 11 or numerical simulation, but not experimental works. − No papers based on experimental data seem available except for a conference paper by Kuma et al and a short paper by Mitsuma et al within the authors' scope.…”
