Regeneration Characteristics of an Adsorbenti n the Solar Desiccant/Regenerator. Effects on Regeneration Characteristics.

Y. Saito

Abstract

This study discusses the solar desiccant system using adsorbent, specifically an "integrated desiccant/regenerator" using direct solar energy as the heat source for efficient regeneration of adsorbent. The objective of this study is to propose the integrated desiccant/regenerator in which adsorbent directly absorbs solar radiation and is heated for regeneration. Another objective is to obtain the regeneration characteristics in the equipment as proposed by experiments. In this study, silica gel is used as an adsorbent.
