전열교환기는 최근 대형건물 및 생산공장 등의 에너지 다소비 장소의 공기조화설비의 에너지 절감기기로서 크게 각광 받고 있다. 그 중에서도 특히 알루미늄 박판에 실리카-겔 분말을 코팅한 Honey comb형 로터는 현열 및 잠열 즉 전열을 흡수할 수 있어 폐에너지 회수용 전열교환기의 전열소자로서 점차 이용되고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 현재까지 전열교환기의 핵심부품인 상기 로터를 전량 수입에 의존하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 백륜공업(주)와 공동출연으로 실리카-겔 분말 코팅된 알루미늄 소재 박판만 수입하여 성형공정 기술을 개선, 향상시켜 국산로터의 시제품을 제작하고 그 성능을 시험하여 수입로터와 비교, 평가하였다. 연구결과, 국산개발 알루미늄 로터 시제품의 전열효율이 수입로터 보다 급배기 조건에 따라 1~5%정도 향상되었다. 또한 알루미늄 로터의 최적운전조건(11-13 r.p.m) 및 급배기 공기량비에 대한 적정조건도 연구결과로 얻어졌다.

A refrigeration dehumidifier with a recuperative heat exchanger is theoretically analyzed. The recuperative heat exchanger is located between the two air streams from and to the dehumidifying coil, and reduces the sensible heat load in dehumidification process. A simple model is developed to predict performance of the dehumidifier. The model predicts that the recuperative heat exchanger is effective especially in the low humidity condition, where the sensible heat load is relatively large. It is predicted that, by adopting a recuperative heat exchanger, a maximum 30~110% increase in COP is possible for indoor air at $27^{\circ}C$, and 40~60% relative humidity.

Improvement in the energy efficiency has been studied of the desiccant cooling system by applying a vapor compression type heat pump to modify the system into a hybrid system. The cycle simulation was performed and the results were compared between a reference desiccant cooling system composed of a desiccant rotor, a sensible rotor and a regenerative evaporative cooler, and a hybrid desiccant cooling system with the sensible rotor being replaced by a heat pump. Though the electric consumption increases as much as the compressor power consumption, the total cooling capacity increases and the thermal energy input decreases by the addition of the heat pump. Therefore, the total energy efficiency can be improved if the increase in the electric consumption can be compensated with the increase in the cooling capacity and the decrease in the thermal energy input. The results showed that the total energy efficiency is optimized at a certain heat pump capacity. When the heat from the CHP plant is used for the thermal energy input, the energy consumption of the hybrid system is reduced by 20~30% compared with the reference system when the heat pump shares 30~40% of the total cooling capacity.

A series of field tests on hybrid desiccant cooling systems were conducted in July-August, 2013. The temperature and humidity of the supply and return air, power, and heat consumption were monitored and transferred in real time through the Internet. The performance parameters of the cooling system, namely, cooling capacity and COP (coefficient of performance), were evaluated from the measured data and their variations under outdoor conditions was analyzed. It was found that with increase in the outdoor temperature, the total energy decreases and cooling capacity increases whereas the latter decreases with increase in the outdoor humidity. The COP was also found to increase with the increase in outdoor temperature.
