[TRNSYS-users] TESS components for desiccant wheel

Arian,

  There are three desiccant wheel models in the TESS HVAC library: 
Type716, Type1716, and Type1225. None of them have silica gel properties 
built into them. However, Types716 and 1716 use a concept called a 
potential curve that is defined by two parameters, F1 and F2. 
Technically, you could get F1 and F2 parameters for any desiccant that 
you want. Practically, though, I think it would probably be difficult to 
find them. Type1225 is a performance map that gives outlet air 
conditions as a function of inlet air conditions. The map that is 
provided as an example was generated using a free tool that the 
manufacturer of a particular rotary desiccant system provided in order 
to assist designers with equipment selection.

kind regards,

  David
