Abstract

A thermodynamic closed loop desiccant rotor system and process utilizes at least one closed recirculation loop (11, 12, 13) that provides interchangeable energy directly to the desiccant material and various rotor isolated zoning configurations (Z1, Z2, Z3) in combination with various arrangements of energy exchange devices (10, 20, 41) and refrigeration components (60, 70) to maximize the interchangeable and recovered energy capability and capacity through both closed thermodynamic cycles and open cycle processes for significantly improved efficiency and energy conservation. The present desiccant rotor system may be utilized in an air conditioning system for dehumidification, humidification, moisture removal, and capture of moisture, and in other applications to remove unwanted gases.
