Increasing ventilation is an effective method to reduce indoor airborne disease transmission.
An Energy recovery ventilator (ERV) is a passive energy recovery device used to reduce the …

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 …

Desiccant coated fixed-bed regenerators (FBRs) transfer heat and moisture between two
airstreams having different temperature and humidity. The experiments on FBRs are …

This study reports on the adsorption (dehumidification)–desorption (humidification) behavior
of cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) coated starch particles (SPs), denoted as SP-CPB, as a …

The design of a liquid desiccant air conditioning (LDAC) system and its dehumidification and
regeneration performance are significantly determined by the thermophysical properties of …

Molecular selective adsorption processes at the solid surface of biopolymers in mixed
solvent systems are poorly understood due to manifold interactions. However, the ability to …

This paper investigates the suitability of bio-desiccants for moisture recovery in energy
wheels. Bio-desiccants are environment-friendly materials that have high water vapor …
