Abstract
Disclosed are a heat exchanger for a dehumidifier using a liquid desiccant and a dehumidifier using a liquid desiccant having the same. The heat exchanger for a dehumidifier using a liquid desiccant, comprises: a plurality of plate-type heat exchanger bodies to which a heat transfer medium flows through flow paths formed therein; and a plurality of plates extending between the respective heat exchanger bodies, and inclined with respect to the surfaces of the heat exchanger bodies.
Claims11
A heat exchanger for a dehumidifier using a liquid desiccant, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of plate-shaped heat exchanger bodies to which a heat transfer medium flows through flow paths formed therein;
- a plurality of plates extending between the respective heat exchanger bodies, and inclined with respect to surfaces of the heat exchanger bodies;
- an upper header supplying the liquid desiccant to the plurality of plates;
- a lower header collecting the liquid desiccant from the plurality of plates;
- and
- a blow fan supplying air to the plurality of plates;
- wherein each of the plates is provided with a plurality of through holes for passing a fluid flowing along the surface of the plate to a lower side of the plate,
- wherein the plurality of plates provide surfaces, which the desiccant and blown air contact each other, and
- wherein each of the plates is formed of a polyester (PET) non-woven fabric.
A heat exchanger for a dehumidifier using a liquid desiccant, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of plate-shaped heat exchanger bodies to which a heat transfer medium flows through flow paths formed therein;
- a folded plate arranged between the heat exchanger bodies, and having a plurality of inclined surfaces arranged in a zigzag form
- an upper header supplying a liquid desiccant to the folded plate;
- a lower header collecting the liquid desiccant from the folded plate;
- and
- a blow fan supplying air to the folded plate;
- wherein each of the inclined surfaces is provided with a plurality of through holes for transferring a liquid desiccant flowing on the inclined surface to a lower side,
- wherein the folded plate provides surfaces on which the desiccant and blown air contact each other,
- wherein the plate-shaped heat exchanger body is provided with one or more channels configured to collect part of the liquid desiccant flowing down along the inclined surface, and
- wherein the folded plate is formed of a polyester (PET) non-woven fabric.
