Re: [TRNSYS-users] Liquid Desiccant Dehumidifier Model

Wenyao,

I also studied a liquid desiccant system, maybe helpful;
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259779267_Field_Evaluation_and_Analysis_of_a_Liquid_Desiccant_Air_Handling_System

I would recommend to keep it very simple, : model the regenerator as a table-lookup if you have experimental data, or a group of simple first or second order functions of hot water inlet temperature, air humidity, temperature, desiccant strength, whatever is significant. Same for conditioner side. I suggest just to focus on the thermodynamics of the system and keep your model in something like Excel until you get it working!

Hi, 

I am a beginner in TRNSYS and I need a liquid desiccant dehumidifier component for my final year project. 

I have been dealing with TRNSYS for some time yet I have no idea on how should I input the equations needed for the system as I am just a final year student. It is relatively tough for me.

Would anyone please share on how you create the liquid desiccant dehumidifier component using TRNSYS?

Thanks alot.
