Abstract
Heat and mass transfer between air and liquid desiccant in a cross-flow packed bed dehumidifier is investigated. Analytical solutions of air and desiccant parameters as well as enthalpy and moisture efficiencies are given in the present study, based on the analogy between the combined heat and mass transfer process in the cross-flow dehumidifier and the heat transfer process in the cross-flow heat exchanger. The results given by the analytical solution are compared with numerical solutions and experimental findings. Good agreement is shown between the analytical solutions and the numerical or experimental results. The analytical solutions can be used in the optimization of the cross-flow dehumidifier.
