On the application of a membrane air—liquid contactor for air dehumidification

Hollow fiber membrane contactor for air humidity control: Modules and membranes

“…Drawbacks of direct air/liquid contactors are the dependence of the interfacial contact area on the operation conditions (flow rate, pressure), the risk of flooding or unloading and particularly the risk of contamination of the air by desiccant droplets. In order to overcome these drawbacks a nondispersive absorption operation as provided by gas/liquid membrane contactors can be a beneficial alternative [1][2][3][4][5]. In this contactor arrangement the gaseous and the liquid phase are separated by a liquid tight semipermeable membrane.…”

“…They may also be used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for various processes such as air treatment, for example: dehumidification or humidification or the evaporative cooling in question [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
