ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for ventilation, recovery of heat, dehumidification and cooling of air or industrial gases for use in industrial processes and in air conditioning of residential, commercial and industrial building comprises a highly effective valveless periodic flow type dehumidifier-heat exchanger in which a countercurrent flow of two gaseous streams through a stationary matrix of a desiccant and a solid heat exchanging material is achieved by an air fan controlled by a variable timer controller. The stationary matrix may include a single bed or two beds of solid materials with distinguished mositure and heat sorption properties, a heater and a wet filter to provide simultaneously an effective transfer of heat and moisture, removal of particulates and adiabatic cooling of the two gaseous streams.
The released sorption heat is temporarily stored within the matrix material and then used in reactivation of the desiccant. If required, the additional heat may be conveniently provided by a fossil fuel, electric, solar or waste heat energy sources. Small amount of power is used in operation of the air fan that may also provide ventilation of the air conditioning building.
