| Abstract |
The present study has been conducted to develope a heating system for a green house with heat from underground air at Jeju Island. The temperature of the air deposited in the underground is 16～18℃ throughout the year, and it also has a large amount of moisture. Therefore, the air could not directly used for the heating of a green house. In this study, a heat pump with dehumidification function has been developed, which consisted of three evaporators, where the moisture removal occurs, accompanied by temperature drop. The dropped temperature is recovered, while passing through a series condenser. The air temperature increased from 17℃ to 35 with a 2.1 kg/h of moisture removal rate. The developed system moisture removal performance shows 0.91 kg/kWh. |
