Abstract | ||
The work done in this paper presents the analysis and performance of cooling / dehumidification system using an absorber in the form of across flow plastic heat exchanger (PPHE). A mathematical model for the system is used, the system consists of a (PPHE) as an absorber, open type regenerator and two heat exchangers. The model used the test result of the (PPHE) absorber and Triethylene glycol (TEG) solution as desiccant. The effect of a number of parameters are investigated like the supply air and TEG flow rates on the supply air temperature, the regenerator area and system C.O.P. The results show that the PPHE can be used to an efficient absorber in cooling dehumidification system. Also this absorber gives a good results compared with plate type and we can use the solar energy to regenerate the desiccant solution | ||
