Experimental validation of a local dehumidification system based on cold water droplets and air-to-air heat exchanger
article
Excessive humidity is a problem in Dutch growing circumstances. A traditional solution is heating and natural ventilation. To save energy a number of energy efficient dehumidification methods are developed, like mechanical ventilation with dry outside air or a curtain of cold water droplets. In this study a new principle is designed focusing on local treatment of the air, minimizing both the ventilator capacity and needs for the cooling medium (only for latent heat). A prototype of the system has been built and the feasibility was tested in the TNO climate chamber.
