Abstract:
This paper presents the development and experimental investigation of a rotary desiccant wheel simulator aimed at efficient air dehumidification. The system utilizes silica gel as the desiccant material due to its high adsorption capacity and thermal stability. The primary objective of this project is to enhance indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption in humid climates by replacing conventional vapor-compression dehumidification systems. The prototype consists of a rotating cylindrical wheel embedded with silica gel, a centrifugal blower, and a heating element for desiccant regeneration. Using assumed psychrometric conditions, we analyzed moisture removal and addition using humidity ratios derived from the psychrometric chart. The results demonstrate the system's ability to remove 0.005 kg of moisture per kg of dry air in the process stream and add 0.013 kg/kg in the regeneration stream. This study validates the potential of rotary desiccant systems in low energy, climate-adaptive HVAC solutions
