| Abstract | A small experimental absorber using calcium chloride as liquid
desiccant has been constructed and effectively operated as a first step towards the development of a solar dehumidification system. The system is simple, and little electrical power is consumed in delivering air and circulating fluids. The effectiveness of the absorber is found to be 77% . The effects of solution concentration and temperature on absorption rate are discussed
The Stepwise multi-regression analysis computer programme is used to determine from the experimental results the relationships between air and
solution; and between the absorption r ate and the solution temperature at two levels of solution concentration . |
