Objective
Traditionally dehumification is obtained by cooling systems requiring high power to codense vapour. Objective of this project is the development of innovative systems to allow air humidity control with low energy cost by using contactors based on membranes impermeable to liquid water, but highly permeable to water vapour. Humidity control is performed by using liquid desiccants solutions.
Applications:
1) civil buildings: in humid regions, dessicants dehumidification could reduce total residential electricity demand by as much as 25%;
2) automotive: in automobiles such savings can be 3% of fuel consumption with contribution to global environmental impact deriving from reduction of CO2 emission and of CFCs freons fluids;
3) controlled atmosphere-food storage: relative humidity method can prevent fungal infestation and reduce loss of water from product and quality deterioration.
