Dehumidification process: Humid air is drawn through the honeycomb matrix of the rotor by process fan,moisture in humid air is absorbed by the desiccant in process area and become dry
Reactivation process: The desiccant desorbs the moisture into the hot air from reverse direction which then is exhausted outside by a reactivation fan.
The desiccant rotor is divided into a process area and a reactivation area. When humid air is drawn through the honeycomb matrix of the rotor by process fan,moisture is removed by the silica gel or molecular sieve desiccant and dried air is supplied to a room or any place that it is needed.
Simultaneously, the 'reactivation air', drawn from from the reverse direction, is heated and passed through the honeycomb matrix in the reactivation area of the rotor. The desiccant desorbs the moisture into the hot air which then is exhausted outside by a reactivation fan. A gear motor drives the desiccant rotor to rotate slowly to repeatedly absorbs moisture and realize continuous dehumidification.
To maximize engery efficiency, outside air is usually cooled down to 13Celcius/95%RH bY water cooled coil or DX coil and then further dehumidified by the revolving desiccant wheel and slightly heated up.
