An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the dehumidification characteristics for several operating conditions of a compact desiccant rotor. This problem is of particular interest in the design of a desiccant type of dehumidifier. Room temperature, room humidity, regeneration temperature, revolution speed and frontal air velocity of desiccant rotor are varied as operating conditions. The results obtained indicate that dehumidification rate is increased with an increase in the room humidity while dehumidification effectiveness is not changed much. It is also found that the optimal rotor speed and optimal regeneration temperature exist for maximum dehumidification rate and dehumidification effectiveness.

In this study, flow analysis and fluid-solid interaction analysis were conducted on a hollow fiber membrane module used for analysis of dehumidification characteristics. To ensure the reliability of the flow analysis results, the dehumidification experiment was performed under the temperature of 30℃ and relative humidity of 30% RH. The results of the dehumidification experiments were compared with the flow analysis results. The results of dehumidification experiments and flow analysis had a difference of approximately 5%. A 1-Way fluid-solid interaction analysis with various materials was conducted. From the results, it was found that the baffle with the largest shape deformation (polyethylene material) was subjected to 2-way fluid-solid interaction. The analysis of fluid flow and dehumidification characteristics were analyzed according to the shape deformation of the baffle.

Recently, the humidity adjustment of indoor air is of great importance in air conditioning system as a applied, in buildings, vehicles, and containers for storage and transport of perishable products. Membrane dehumidification or air is potentially attractive because it offers low capital and operating costs, along with low energy consumption. And membrane dehumidification process attracted the attention of the public instead of the other dehumidification processes, such as adsorption, absorption, and refrigeration cycles and so on. In this study, the prepared hydrophilic inorganic membrane-based dehumidifiers(membrane air dehumidification) examined the performance of dehumidification. The surface-modified inorganic membrane prepared in this study showed high dehumidification efficiency(over 80%). The membrane might be very useful for dehumidification industries.

In this study, flow analysis and dehumidification experiments were performed on hollow fiber membrane module to confirm the dehumidification characteristics for its different configurations. The CFD for the three different models was conducted using $30^{\circ}C$ temperature and 30%RH inlet humidity for quantitative analysis. Each model has different shape parameters i.e. the number of baffles. Comparison between flow analysis results and dehumidification experiment results revealed a percentage error of about 5%. The difference in relative humidity between the inlet and outlet for each model was calculated using flow analysis data. It was established that the difference in relative humidity of the inlet and outlet for the refined model with three baffles was highest among the three modeled modules of hollow fiber membrane module, i.e. around 9%.

In the forming of an integrated system of radiant floor cooling and dehumidifying, chilled coil can be used for cooling and dehumidification. Therefore, it is necessary to find the efficient control method which can eliminates latent load efficiently. This study has been conducted to find this method by dividing the dehumidification system into 3 types according to the control variables and analyzing characteristics of each system. To prevent the floor surface condensation, the amount of condensation can be manipulated by water temperatures, water flow rates in chilled coil, and air flow rates passing by it. So dehumidification system control can be divided into constant air flow control and variable air flow control. Regarding dehumidification control, variable air flow control, which eliminates latent load rather than sensible load, is preferable to constant flow control.

An experimental external external collector type, solar dehumidification dryer was retrofitted with a simple computer-based control system. Solar, solar-dehumidification, and air-drying of 3cm-thick douglas-fir were carried out to investigate the drying-conditions and characteristics of this system, and to analyze the energy efficiencies of each drying met hods in summer. The drying rate of solar-dehumidification was 12%/day, which was about 2 times and 3 times faster than that of solar-and air-drying, respectively. The amount of diurnal temperature fluctuation inside the solar-dryer was greatly reduced and the energy efficiency was enhanced from 25% to 60% by the dehumidifier.

In a previous work of the authors, the heat and mass transfer in a desiccant rotor was analyzed theoretically through linearization assumptions and four dimensionless parameter groups dominating the dehumidification process were arranged. In this work is verified whether the four dimensionless parameters also play the dominant roles in more realistic situations where the nonlinear factors affect the heat and mass transfer. The results show that the dehumidification characteristics are closely similar to each other as long as the four dimensionless parameters have the same set of values while the rotor configurations and/or the operation conditions are different from each other. The four dimensionless parameters are $\Psi,\;\chi,\;\sigma$ and N, where $\Psi$ implies the average gradient of relative humidity lines in the psychrometric chart, $\chi$ the heat capacity of the rotor and $\sigma$ the sorption capacity of the rotor, and N implies the number of transfer unit.

본 연구에서는 친환경 제설제로 사용이 증가되고 있는 CMA를 바탕으로 고성능흡습제로 사용되어지고 있는 SAP와 sodium carbonate, $MgCl_2$/MgO (M/M)에 대하여 제습MB를 제조하고 필름으로서의 흡습율 및 제습성능을 분석하고, 제습필름 적용물질에 대한 Data를 확보하고자 한다. CMA와 SAP를 혼합한 제습MB의 경우 발포현상과 수분문제로 필름가공성이 어려웠으나, Bentonite와 calcium carbonate 첨가로 해결할 수 있었다. 필름가공시 물질들 간의 표면적 공간을 넓히는 역할로서 발포제를 첨가한 경우, CMA와 M/M의 경우 큰 차이성은 없었지만, 발포제가 첨가된 SC의 제습성은 3.15 g/g로 높은 결과를 알 수 있었다. 또한 방청성 테스트의 결과 CMA 제습필름 경우 부식발생은 없었으며, SC의 경우 점 부식 발생, M/M의 경우 부식발생이 일어났다.

In the present study, the performances of a fin-tube evaporator and three PF evaporators for a heat pump dryer were experimentally investigated. Among the tested evaporators, the PF3 type evaporator showed the highest values of heat transfer capacity and dehumidification performance, while the fin-tube evaporator had the lowest values. PF3 showed better performance compared to PF1 and PF2, due to the large pin pitch, which leads to more draining for dehumidified water. Also, the $45^{\circ}$ inclined PF evaporator presented better performance than that of the $90^{\circ}$ inclined PF evaporator, owing to its easier draining characteristics. The effect of air velocity was revealed to be quite large. When the air velocity increased by 20%, the heat transfer capacity and dehumidification performance increased 43%/11%, 48%/13% and 54%/23% for PF1, PF2 and PF3, respectively.
