A direct expansion (DX) air dehumidification system is an efficient way to supply fresh and dry air to a built environment. It plays a key role in preventing the spread of respiratory disease like Swine flu (H1N1). To improve the efficiency of a conventional DX system in hot and humid regions, a...

This study aims at comparing the performance of honeycomb type adsorbent beds (or desiccant wheels) for air dehumidification with various solid desiccant wall materials, from a viewpoint of system operation. A mathematical model is proposed and validated to predict the cyclic behaviors of the...
