Exponential correlations to predict the dependence of effectiveness parameters of a desiccant wheel on the airflow rates and on the rotation speed

Energy saving potential of a hybrid HVAC system with a desiccant wheel activated at low temperatures and an indirect evaporative cooler in handling air in buildings with high latent loads

“…The most influential parameter on the desiccant capacity of a DW is the regeneration temperature [13,14]. Usually, DWs are thermally activated at high temperatures, from 60 ºC to 120 °C [15,16], although other studies also showed acceptable DW performance when their regeneration temperatures were below 60 °C [17]. The main disadvantage of DWs is the high outlet process air temperatures [18].…”
