Parametric analysis of a cross-flow membrane-based parallel-plate liquid desiccant dehumidification system: numerical and experimental data (2017)
Journal Article
Bai, H., Zhu, J., Chen, Z., & Chu, J. (2018). Parametric analysis of a cross-flow membrane-based parallel-plate liquid desiccant dehumidification system: numerical and experimental data. Energy and Buildings, 158, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.10.018

Operating parameters of a membrane-based parallel-plate liquid desiccant dehumidification system are investigated in this paper. The liquid desiccant and air are in a cross-flow arrangement, and separated by semi-permeable membranes to avoid carry-ov...
