[TRNSYS-users] Liquid Desiccant Dehumidifier Model

[Marcus via TRNSYS-users]

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!
