The nonstationary moisture exchange between a stationary adsorbent layer and the air passed through it has been experimentally investigated. It is shown that the air humidity can be effectively regulated at both the stage of water adsorption (air dehumidification) and the stage of water desorption (air humidification) with the use of commercially produced desiccants. The degree of dehumidification and humidification of the air passed through an adsorbent can be varied from 0 to 1 by varying the nature of the adsorbent, the size of its granules, and the time for which it is in contact with the air flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
