In food processing, drying is an important unit operation for preserving the product quality by moisture content reduction. However, some drying processes suffer from technical and …
Fixed-bed regenerators (FBR) transfer heat (and moisture) between supply and exhaust air streams in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to reduce building …
The adsorption–desorption behavior of flax fibers (FFs) is reported in this paper. FFs are a potential desiccant material for air-to-air energy wheels, which transfer heat and moisture in …
Controlling indoor humidity levels is essential for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. The use of energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) is an energy-efficient way to …

In this paper, a novel concept of an atmospheric water generator (AWG) based on desiccant coated heat exchangers (DCHEs) is presented. Two silica gel coated heat exchangers …
Desiccant coated fixed-bed regenerators (FBRs) transfer heat and moisture between two airstreams having different temperature and humidity. The experiments on FBRs are …
Energy consumption for ventilation purposes in buildings makes up a considerable portion of HVAC energy consumption. Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) can reduce the required …
