DEC system with wet he<strong>at</strong> exchanger<br />

(contributed by Pietro Finocchiaro, DREAM, University of Palermo)<br />

With the aim to increase the cooling effect due to w<strong>at</strong>er evapor<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

in the return air flow r<strong>at</strong>e, st<strong>and</strong>ards DEC configur<strong>at</strong>ion can be<br />

modified replacing the he<strong>at</strong> recovery wheel (sensible he<strong>at</strong><br />

exchanger) with one or more pl<strong>at</strong>e he<strong>at</strong> exchangers in series with<br />

continuous humidific<strong>at</strong>ion of the secondary flow.<br />

The wet he<strong>at</strong> exchanger used is similar to a closed loop wet cooling<br />

tower <strong>and</strong> consists of a cross flow fl<strong>at</strong> pl<strong>at</strong>e he<strong>at</strong> exchanger, spray<br />

nozzles, basin <strong>and</strong> recircul<strong>at</strong>ion pump. Spray nozzles used oper<strong>at</strong>e<br />

with low w<strong>at</strong>er pressure <strong>and</strong> do not require special maintenance.<br />

In the following figure a two-stage system is presented. In the<br />

configur<strong>at</strong>ion shown, return air is humidified in two steps <strong>and</strong> leaves<br />

the AHU after the he<strong>at</strong> exchange with supply air stream. In addition, desiccant wheel is<br />

regener<strong>at</strong>ed by external air, which is he<strong>at</strong>ed before by the two he<strong>at</strong>ing coils. This means an<br />

additional fan, but <strong>at</strong> the same time, regener<strong>at</strong>ion air flow can be reduced <strong>and</strong> no bypass is<br />

used (see following scheme). The exclusion of the by-pass across the desiccant rotor <strong>and</strong><br />

the use of outside air for regener<strong>at</strong>ing the desiccant rotor, can improve performances of the<br />

system also in terms of thermal COP <strong>and</strong> reduction on electricity consumption for the<br />

regener<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

First experimental investig<strong>at</strong>ions confirm good performances of the system equipped with<br />

wet he<strong>at</strong> exchangers. Thanks to the optimiz<strong>at</strong>ion of the indirect evapor<strong>at</strong>ive cooling process,<br />

the contribution of auxiliary cooling coils can strongly reduced.<br />
