Abstract
Liquid desiccant dehumidification system can be used effectively to save energy consumed in air conditioning as an alternative compared with conventional air conditioning systems by reducing latent heat load. The dehumidifier and the regenerator from the heart of this system. The latent part of the cooling load is handled using liquid desiccant. In this study, the experimental regenerator has been designed to study the regeneration characteristics of the aqueous triethylene glycol(TEG) system. The performance factors of the regenerator with finned tube heat exchanger were evaluated by a series of experimental runs. The regeneration process is highly dependent on the liquid desiccant conditions, such as, temperature, concentration and flow rate. In addition, the effects of the inlet air temperature, humidity and flow rate were discussed. Data obtained are useful for design guidance and performance analysis of a regenerator, particularly for a liquid desiccant cooling system.
