Abstract
A composite porous fibrous dehumidifying material comprised of a plurality of fibers whose surface has immobilized thereon a reversible hydrogel material. The composite porous fibrous structure can be used as a dehumidifying material for reducing energy consumption in air conditioning/climate control units. Preferred fibrous materials are electrically conductive materials, such a graphitic fibers.
Claims7
A composite porous fibrous dehumidifying material for use with HVAC equipment, which material is comprised of a plurality of electrically conductive fibers having immobilized thereon a reversible hydrogel material that is capable of absorbing water by forming bonds with water molecules from moisture-containing air and which is capable of releasing at least a fraction of the absorbed water upon being subjected to an electrical current.
