Fundamental Study on System Efficiency of Vacuum-based Membrane Dehumidification System

In recent years, the sensible heat load of buildings has been decreasing due to promotion energy conservation, and factor is expected decrease. response, conventional dehumidification method using overcooled condensation likely insufficient handle latent heat, an advanced required. The authors have focused these issues development on a membranes. Membrane systems (MDS) are relatively simple, then it be next-generation system. Therefore, evaluate energysaving performance MDS, this study developed consumption balance equation for system that uses & reheating verified energy-saving under different conditions. results quantitatively showed efficiency (Specific consumption, vacuum pump per unit dehumidification) which amount saved by MDS compared specified COP cooled source equipment equipment. at superior room factors membrane utilization methods also clarified. This enables determining required when considering introduction understanding conditions introducing in competitive.
