| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to conduct a numerical analysis of a compressor dehumidifier while focusing on the dehumidification performance. Even for those large applications in condensation, current researches have been confined only to fundamental aspect of condensation and only a few studies touched the real application of dehumidifier. This study’s numerical model was applied to a real compressor dehumidifier, which was an extended works of our previous ones dealing with fluid flow and heat transfer without condensation. The fluid film model was used and the validity of the numerical model was thoroughly examined with two cases, i.e., a simple channel and fin-tube heat exchanger. The numerical model in this study showed reasonable agreement with experiment and a parametric study with number of fins and flow rate were conducted. |
