INTEGRATED MEMBRANE DEHUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An air temperature and humidity control device is provided including a first heat pump having a compressor, an expansion valve, a condenser, and an evaporator. The first heat pump has a refrigerant circulating there through. A humidity controller includes a first contactor fluidly coupled to the evaporator and condenser. The first contact includes at least one contact module having a porous sidewall that defines an internal space through which a hygroscopic material flows. A first air flow is in communication with the porous sidewall of the first contactor. The device also has a second heat pump including a first polishing coil. The first polishing coil is substantially aligned with and arranged generally downstream from the first contactor relative to the first air flow.

1. An air temperature and humidity control device comprising:
a first heat pump including a compressor, an expansion valve, a condenser and an evaporator, the first heat pump having a refrigerant circulating there through; a humidity controller having a first contactor fluidly coupled to the evaporator and the condenser, the first contactor including at least one contact module having a porous sidewall that defines an internal space through which a hygroscopic material flows; a first air flow in communication with the porous sidewall of the first contactor such that heat and/or water vapor transfers between the first air flow and the hygroscopic material; and a second heat pump including a first coil arranged generally downstream from the first contactor relative to the first air flow.
