- Abstract
- The proposed research presents a dedicated outdoor-air system (DOAS) integrated with a vacuum-based membrane dehumidifier (VMD). The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the energy-saving potential of the proposed VMD-DOAS combination. VMD-DOAS comprised a membrane-energy exchanger (MEE), dew-point indirect evaporative cooler (DP-IEC), and VMD. VMD possessed a characteristic by virtue of which the dehumidification process was isothermal; i.e., no temperature change was observed during the VMD process. While VMD served to control the dry-air supply, the required target temperature (i.e., 17 °C) was maintained via DP-IEC operation. The remaining sensible heat of the conditioned zone was controlled by the ceiling radiant cooling panel (CRCP). The load of the conditioned zone was driven by TRANSYS 18, and an engineering equation solver (EES) was used for evaluating the energy-saving potential of the proposed system with CRCP by comparing it against the variable-air-volume (VAV) system. Results of this study demonstrated that the proposed DOAS with CRCP consumed 37% less operating energy compared to the VAV system. This observed energy-saving potential of the proposed system was driven by reducing the dehumidification load and subsequent energy recovery by MEE. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
