Abstract
The performance of various dehumidification materials was assessed in terms of effective adsorption amount of water vapor based on the adsorption isotherms to find a suitable dehumidification element for an economical adsorptive desiccant cooling system being developed. The effective adsorption amount is an important factor for regeneration at lower temperatures. Three types of silica gels, S(a), S(b), and S(c), with different pore volumes and pore size distributions, and zeolite with various molar ratios of Si/Al, 5.6, 29, 47, 91, and 220, prepared from a Y-type zeolite treated with hydrochloric acid, an activated carbon with silica gel added to improve the hydrophobic surface, and MCM-41 were examined. Silica gels having effective adsorption amounts of 0.25 g/g, and activated carbon with silica gel added were assessed to be candidate desiccant materials.
