Performance Evaluation of a Desiccant Dehumidifier with a Heat Recovery Unit

In order to effectively increase the drying rate and reduce the energy consumption, a dryer which reduces the air humidity at the dryer inlet using desiccant and regenerates the desiccant by recovering waste heat using a heat pipe heat exchanger was developed in this study. Both the adsorption rate...
