Additional information

This paper studied the use of two coating methods and materials (adsorbent (CaCl) finishing and absorbent (LiCl) filming) in air-to-air heat and mass exchangers with the aim of improving their enthalpy exchange efficiency. Mathematical simulations validated by experimental tests were undertaken, with the results showing that absorbent filming led to a 25.6% increase in the enthalpy efficiency, compared to only 15.9% for the adsorbent finishing. This led to new approaches to improve efficiency of heat and mass exchangers and contributed to industrial energy saving. The results were applied in a new air-to-air heat/mass exchanger by ISAW Ltd.
