Abstract
The performance of a laboratory scale dehumidifier has been measured under controlled laboratory conditions, yielding a maximum dehumidifier specific moisture extraction rate (SMER d ) of 7.94 kg kW -1 h -1 at 50°C and 85% relative humidity. Although we are not aware of any published data on dehumidifier systems having higher SMER d , there appears to be further scope for improvement, as the exergetic efficiency of the unit was in the region of only 4-12%.
