Technical field
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the energy exchanging systems for adjusting air in enclosed construction, and more Body it is related to the membrane support assembly suitable for energy exchanger.
Background technique
Enclosed construction, the building moved in, factory etc. generally include for adjusting ambient ventilated air and/or following again The heating of annular space gas/ventilation/air adjusts (HVAC) system.HVAC system generally includes supply air flow circuit and exhaust airstream stream Road.It supplies air flow circuit and receives preconditioned air, such as outdoor air or the outdoor air for being mixed with recirculation air, and should Preconditioned air is guided and is assigned in enclosed construction.Preconditioned air is adjusted by HVAC system in order to provide with required temperature With the supply air of humidity being discharged into enclosed construction.Air is drained back into the environment except structure by exhaust airstream flow path. Without energy recovery, it usually needs a large amount of auxiliary energy adjusts supply air, has and required confession It is especially true in the environment for the extreme outdoor weather conditions for answering the temperature and humidity of air dramatically different.Therefore, energy exchange or Recovery system is normally used for restoring energy from exhaust airstream flow path.The energy restored from the air in exhaust airstream flow path is used The energy needed for reducing adjusting supply air.
Traditional energy exchanging system is using the energy being located in supply both air flow circuit and exhaust airstream flow path Recyclable device (for example, energy wheel and permeable plate heat exchanger) or heat-exchange device (for example, heat wheel, Plate heat exchanger, thermal pipe exchanger and belt heat exchanger).Liquid-to-air membrane energy exchanger (LAMEE) is by fluidically coupling Connection, so that liquid desiccant is to be similar to the typical ring using glycol water as the belt heat exchanger for coupling fluid The mode in row circuit flows between LAMEE.
In general, LAMEE transmits heat and moisture by thin flexible membrane between liquid desiccant and air.It is flat LAMEE includes a series of alternate liquid desiccants and air duct separated by film.Typically, the fluid passage between film Interior fluid pressure is higher than the air pressure outside film.Therefore, flexible membrane is intended to be bent outwardly or protrude into air duct.
Air stream is excessively limited in order to avoid protruding due to film, the air duct of LAMEE is phase compared to fluid passage To wider.In addition, support construction is generally disposed at the amount for limiting film protrusion between film.However, relatively wide air Channel and support construction usually weaken the performance of LAMEE.In brief, due to biggish air channel width, in air duct Heat and the resistance of moisture transfer be quite higher, and support construction may block the film delivery areas of significant quantity.Cause This needs a large amount of membrane area to meet performance objective, and which increase costs, and cause LAMEE larger.In addition, air Support construction in channel may generate excessive pressure drop, also impact negatively on the runnability and efficiency of LAMEE.
The heat for being transmitted to film from air duct in parallel plate type LAMEE is expressed as by following:
qs=h (Ts-Tm)
Wherein qsIt is the heat flux of the per unit area at film, h is local heat transfer coefficient, TsIt is local film temperatures, with And TmIt is the local general average temperature of air.For given temperature difference (Ts-Tm), for, heat transmits under the temperature difference Rate to film depends on carry-over factor h, related to air channel width and air-flow character.Quality (for example, moisture) Transmitting determined by similar relational expression.That is, mass flux depends on mass transfer coefficient hmAnd overall air flow and Concentration (for example, humidity) difference between air at surface.The coefficient h and hmFor given channel geometries and stream Transmitting analogy for dynamic condition by heat and quality be relative to each other.Carry-over factor is by being referred to as the immeasurable of nusselt number Guiding principle parameter expression at:
Nu=hDh/k
Wherein DhFor the hydraulic diameter of air duct, for parallel-plate, it is equal to twice of air channel width, and k It is the thermal conductivity of air.Typical LAMEE generates laminar flow in air duct (that is, the not stable air stream of turbulent flow).
Well known LAMEE includes metal, glass or sticking plaster, is placed in air duct to maintain air duct Width.In addition, metal mesh is used as the additional support structures between film and bar.Metal bar can be folded in the metal in air duct Between net, metal mesh is folded between bar and film in turn.Under normal circumstances, the longitudinal axis of bar is parallel to air stream.Pass through The air stream of air duct is typically laminar flow.However, bar generally takes up sizable space in air duct.In addition, having sent out It is existing, relatively low heat and moisture transfer rate are generated between air duct and film by the laminar air flow of air duct.
