  • Liquid desiccant dehumidification systems have the ability to provide efficient humidity and temperature control while saving the electrical energy requirement for air conditioning as compared to a conventional system. The dehumidifier and the regenerator form the heart of this system. The latent part of the cooling load is overcome using liquid desiccant. The model regenerator has been designed to study the absorption characteristic of the aqueous triethylene glycol (TEG) solution which is in the flow range from 20 to 50 LPM. Also, this system designed that was able to change the height of the regenerator and dehumidifier. Because the effect of performance have different result according the height. The effect of performance factors of the regenerator with inlet solution flow rate, air flow rate, solution concentration, solution temperature, brine temperature, air temperature and inlet air relative humidity have been analyzed. Data obtained are useful for design guidance and performance analysis of the hybrid air conditioning system.

  • The mixed cooling dryer has been developed significantly by adopting both advantages of cooling dryers and desiccant dryers. In this study, it is introduced that the desired effect, such as drying rate period reduction and energy-saving, could be achieved only by adding the desiccant dryer if an existing cooling dryer is used. The experiment should be conducted for quite long time due to the material selection, so it is regrettable that there are not enough data.

  • The number of domestic ice-rink is little by little increasing recently. Therefore, the demand for air-conditioning system to adjust adequately the indoor condition of ice-rink is constantly increasing. But, if air-conditioning system for ice-rink isn't designed properly, the problems such as fogging, ice surface condensation, structural deterioration, odors, generation of dew condensation on the surface of a wall occur. The solutions for these problems are to lower the relative humidify of indoor. The objectives of this paper is to apply of desiccant dehumidifier on ice-rink, solve these problems.

  • Optimizing energy usage for maximum efficiency is an essential goal for manufacturing plants in every industrial manufacturing sector. The generation and distribution of purifying compressed air is a large expense incurred in practically all manufacturing processes. Not only is the generation and treatment expensive equipment of compressed air, but frequent maintenance and effective operation is also required. As a plant's compressed air system is often an integral part of the production process, it needs to be reliable, efficient, and easy to be maintain. In this paper, we study to find operating method to save energy from the adsorption dryer in the process of purifying compressed air, which is required for a clean room production site in "A" company. The compressed air passes through a pressure vessel with two "towers" filled with a material such as activated alumina, silica gel, molecular sieve or other desiccant material. This desiccant material attracts the water from the compressed air via adsorption. As the water clings to the desiccant, the desiccant particle becomes saturated. Therefore, Adsorption dryer is an extremely significant facility which removes the moisture in the air $70^{\circ}C$ below the dew point temperature while using a lot of energy. Also, the energy consumption of the adsorption dryer can be varied by various operating conditions (time, pressure, temperature, etc). Therefore, based on existing operating experiments, we have searched operating condition to maximize energy saving by changing operating conditions of the facility. However, due to a short experiment period (from September to October), further research will be focused on considering seasonality.

  • In the field of ammunition, storage performance is recognized as important, and the moisture-proof performance of packaging containers is very important. In the ammunition field, paper cans with a multi-layered structure are mainly used as packaging containers. It is made by layering materials that play various roles. These packaging containers are mainly evaluated for moisture-proof performance according to the Korean Industrial Standard KS T 1314. The moisture permeability is determined through linear regression analysis of the change in weight of the moisture absorbent added inside. In this study, the effect of the amount of desiccant added on the moisture permeability test results of packaging containers was confirmed. It is considered appropriate that the amount of desiccant used in testing ammunition packaging containers be approximately 70% or more of the internal volume.

  • 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.

  • The aims of this study are to find out the possibility of the charcoal as a desiccant. The only humidity control under high temperature and high humidity environment can be provided to the thermal comfort at indoor environment. Functionality of charcoal is known to be deodorization, antiseptic effect, filtering effect and humidity control. But research related to humidity control in the country not yet. Thus, the dehumidification capacity of the charcoal experimental results to see the results were as follows : 1) Entering the experimental humidification is 148.02 g/h, 161.05 g/h and 243.2 g/h when air velocity was changed 1.5 m/s, 1.7 m/s and 2.0 m/s. 2) When the basis weight of the charcoal 2.0 m/s air velocity to obtain the largest number of adsorption capacity. 3) Dru bulb temperature and dew point temperature ware measured at front and rear of the charcoal. Absolute humidity is calculated from the measured Dry bulb temperature and dew point temperature. The quantity of dehumidification is calculated from absolute humidity is the largest 129.6 g/h at the air velocity 2.0 m/s.

  • This paper presents the optimization process of liquid desiccant cooling cycle using LiCl aqueous solution as a working fluid. Operating conditions and design factors for heat exchangers were optimized by response surface method. As a result, we obtained the 7.297 kW of cooling capacity and 0.788 of COP at optimized condition. Effect of $dT_{hw}$ on system performances was also examined. As $dT_{hw}$ increases, the cooling capacity increases and COP decreases.
