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.

During hot and humid weather, air-conditioners consume a large amount of electricity due to the large amount of latent heat. Simultaneous usage of a dehumidifier may reduce latent heat and reduce electricity consumption. In this study, dehumidification performance was measured for a small-sized dehumidification rotor made of inorganic fiber impregnated with metallic silicate within a constant temperature and humidity chamber. Regeneration to dehumidification depends on ratio, rotor speed, room temperature, regeneration temperature, room relative humidity and frontal velocity to the rotor. Results demonstrate an optimum area ratio (1/2), rotor speed (1.0 rpm), and regeneration temperature ($100^{\circ}C$) to achieve a dehumidification rate of 0.0581 kg/s. As the area ratio increases, the optimum rotation speed and the optimum regeneration temperature also increase. Above the optimum rotor speed, incomplete regeneration reduces dehumidification. Above the optimum regeneration temperature, increased temperature variation between regeneration and dehumidification reduces dehumidification. Dehumidification rate also increases with an increase of relative humidity, dehumidification temperature and flow velocity into the rotor.

There are three types of dehumidification systems : refrigeration dehumidification method, desiccant dehumidification method and hybrid dehumidification method. The first method involves removing moisture by condensation below the dew point, the second method involves absorption by a desiccant material and the last is an integration method. However, the refrigeration dehumidification system consumes too much power and controlling the humidity ratio is difficult. The desiccant dehumidification system uses less power but it has problems of environmental pollution. The hybrid dehumidification system has the disadvantage of a high initial cost. On the other hand, the energy consumption of the membrane based dehumidification system is lower than for the refrigeration dehumidification system. Also, it is an environmentally friendly technology. In this study, the performance parameters are evaluated for the dehumidification system using a hollow fiber membrane. Available area, duct side dry-bulb temperature, sweep gas flux (flow rate) and LMPD (Log Mean Pressure Difference) were used as the performance parameters.

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.

Dedicated outdoor air-conditioning(DOA) system that utilizes pre-cooling and desiccant dehumidification can be superior to conventional cooling and reheating system with respect to energy consumption and indoor thermal comfort. In this work, simulation has been conducted to study various factors that affect the performance of DOA. Dynamic simulation shows the transient variation of temperature and humidity as the on/off control logic is imposed. Exit humidity of process air and flow rate are varied to study the effect on exit temperature of process air, dehumidification quantity, required regeneration temperature and exit humidity of regeneration air. For an outdoor air condition of $28.5^{\circ}C$ temperature, 16 g/kg humidity ratio and 2000 cmh flow rate, the dehumidification efficiency is increased by 4.6% as the flow rate is doubled.

This study was performed to find out the influence of experimental factors on dehumidification performance and furthermore to suggest an optimal combination of factors of a total heat exchanger in a solar air conditioning system. The experimental apparatus was set up in a climate-controlled chamber where the temperature and humidity was maintained constant. In order to find out the contribution ratio of factors on dehumidification performance, the table of orthogonal arrays $L_8(2^7)$ was used. According to the results, the most influential factor on dehumidification performance was the concentration of LiCl(Lithium Chloride) solution. The next influential factors were the temperature of LiCl solution and the air flow rate. The packed layer height, packed material, and flow rate of LiCl solution had no influence on the dehumidification performance under these experimental conditions. Through the three level experiments of $L_{27}(3^{13})$, it was found that the optimal combination was $A_2B_0G_2$(concentration of solution 30 wt%, temperature of solution $15^{\circ}C$, air flow rate $253m^3/h$).

In this study, flow analysis and dehumidification experiment were conducted on hollow fiber membrane module to determine the dehumidification characteristics of its various configurations. A quantitative analysis of the CFD for four different models with a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and 30%RH inlet humidity was conducted. Each model has different shape parameters i.e. the number of hollow fiber membranes and the presence or absence of baffles. After comparison between the flow analysis results and dehumidification experiment results, the percentage error was found to be approximately 2%. The moisture removal rate for each model was calculated using flow analysis data. It was found that the moisture removal rate of refined model with three baffles and eight hollow fiber membranes was highest among the four modeled modules of hollow fiber membrane one, i.e. about 60%.

A numerical analysis has been conducted on the dehumidification phenomena of rotary absorptive dehumidifier. Parameters that affect the dehumidification efficiency, such as regeneration temperature, humidity, rotor angular velocity, air flow rate and regeneration section angle are studied and optimum driving conditions are determined from the results, Furthermore three new types of dehumidification method are developed to improve the efficiency They are named MODE 2, 3 and 4, while the present one MODE 1. Cooling zone has been constructed between regeneration and process Bone in MODE 2 and as a result exit temperature of the process air decreases. MODE 3 an improvement of MODE 2, recirculates the cooling air into the regeneration zone and regeneration input as well as exit temperature decreases. In MODE 4, some of tee regeneration air is recirculated and it cuts down the regeneration input. Among them MODE 3, showed the best dehumidification efficiency.

본 연구는 온실에서의 제습장치 이용에 관한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 지하수를 냉매로 하는 열교환기 방식의 제습장치를 제작하여 제습성능을 시험하고, 포그냉방시스템을 설치한 온실에 적용하여 제습이 증발냉각효율의 향상에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 제습기 성능실험 결과 지하수를 냉매로 이용할 경우 포그냉방시스템을 적용한 온실의 제습은 충분히 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 냉방 온실의 기온을 $32^{\circ}C$로 설정할 때 냉매인 지하수의 온도가 $15^{\circ}C$에서 18, 21, $24^{\circ}C$로 높아지면 제습량은 각각 $17.7\%,\;35.4\%,\;52.8\%$ 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지하수 유량을 $75\%,\;50\%$로 줄이면 제습량은 각각 $12.1\%,\; 30.5\%$ 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때 지하수를 이용한 제습기의 설계에 있어서 이용 가능한 유량과 온도가 중요한 인자임을 알 수 있다. 포그냉방 온실에 제습기를 설치함으로서 뚜렷한 냉방효율 개선을 확인할 수 있었다. 환기율 0.7 회${\cdot}min^{-1}$정도의 자연환기 상태에서 포.1냉방 온실의 환기에 의한 제습율은 53.9%~74.4%였으며, 제습기를 가동할 경우 75.4~95.9까지 높아졌다. 제습기 설계유량과 $18^{\circ}C$의 지하수를 사용할 경우 0.36회 ${\cdot}min^{-1}$ 정도의 환기율에서도 포그시스템 작동으로 인하여 발생하는 분무량을 완전히 제거할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 제습기를 이용하여 자연환기 온실에서의 포그 냉방 효율을 충분히 높힐 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

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.
