摘要
Desiccants used for the purpose of space conditioning or enthalpy transfer can be subjected to hundreds of thousands of adsorption/regeneration cycles over their useful life. Studying the loss of a desiccant's equilibrium water adsorption capacity after exposure to thermal cycling is a common method for quantifying desiccant aging. Since isotherm shape and desiccant capacity can be related to overall cooling-system performance, system cooling capacity and coefficients of performance over time can be predicted. Adsorption isotherms for several different desiccants have been determined after subjecting the materials to varying numbers of thermal cycles in a specially designed test unit capable of adsorption/desorption cycling every 10 min. Aging curves for a new Type 1M desiccant developed specifically for desiccant cooling applications by LaRoche Industries Inc. are compared to other commonly used desiccants.
