Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this article, an experimental investigation has been made on a solar heating and humidification system. In this system, an evacuated tube solar water heater is connected to the desiccant bed heat exchanger (DBHE) by connecting pipes. The evacuated tube solar water heater supplies required heat to the DBHE for the regeneration of desiccant material. Various types of solid and composite desiccant materials have been used in the DBHE to investigate their effect on the system performance. It has been found that the system obtained its best performance with silica gel with average humidification rate of 0.63 kg/h. The maximum temperature difference of process air has been found as 16°C at the flow rate of 295.2 kg/h.
