A Paper on Experimental Investigation of Forced Convection Desiccant Integrated Phase Change Material Regenerated Dryer

Abstract

There are hot and humid environment present in many parts of India. It is necessary to produce the dry air for such environment. Beside refrigeration, vapour compression system is also used to produce dry air but it leads to the environmental issues. For many domestic and industrial purposes, dry air is produced by using solid desiccants like silica gel, activated alumina and activated charcoal. These methods have low operating and maintenance cost and also these methods are environment friendly. For using these desiccants again, we have to regenerate them. In this review paper the methods have been studied to regenerate the desiccants for further use.
