Abstract

The paper focuses on development of new adsorbent material of aluminophosphate (FAM-Z05) which could be subsequently used in utilization of waste heat below 373 K. To evaluate this new material, water vapor adsorption isotherms of FAM-Z05 were measured at several temperatures. Furthermore, an attempt was made to improve the heat exchanger by coating FAM materials onto fin tube type heat exchanger. Then, the dehumidification performance of direct cooling and heating desiccant system was evaluated.
It was found that the water vapor adsorption isotherms of FAM-Z05 were characterized by S-shape and the adsorption character of FAM-Z05 was dependent on temperature. Further, the new adsorbent of FAM-Z05 was able to adsorb water vapor in lower regeneration temperature than FAMZ02 and FAM-Z01, which was attributed to FAM-Z05 ability to adsorb water vapor in high humidity range. However, when FAM-Z05 is used in low humidity range, the dehumidification performance of FAM-Z05 might be lower than those of FAM-Z01 and FAM-Z02.
