Abstract
Experimental investigation on the sensible effectiveness of LiCl wheel is reported. The measurements were made for balanced flow (C* = 1) for a wide range of rotational speed 0-10 rpm, regeneration temperature of 50-70°C and airflow rate 150-550 kg/h. The results revealed that the operation rotational speed for LiCl wheel is about 5 rpm which is significantly lower that for Silica gel wheel. It is also found that the sensible effectiveness is independent of the regeneration temperature. The experimental results are also fitted to the existing correlation of Simonson et al. (ASHRAE Trans 106(1):301-310, 2000). For the range of the applicability of the correlation, most of the experimental data fit the correlation within an error band of ±5%.
