Abstract:

Under high temperature and humidity conditions, the solution regeneration process involves significant latent heat transfer. The ability of additional heating structures to transfer latent heat directly affects mass transfer performance. However, there has been limited research focusing on enhancing heat and moisture transfer performance through the thermal effects of additional structures, and existing models struggle to adequately describe this phenomenon. This study aims to establish a suitable 4NTU-Le regeneration model through experiments and analyze the enhancement mechanism of fin-microchannel thermal effects on the regeneration process. Fundamental analyses were conducted to explore the coupling transfer mechanism of heat and humidity among air, solution, and hot water. Based on this model, uniform temperature index (IUT) and uniform humidity index (IUH) were used as evaluation metrics to analyze the thermal effects of fin-microchannels. The results show that the 4NTU-Le mathematical model exhibits good accuracy within the studied conditions, with predicted exit parameter accuracies within 10 %. The thermal effects of fin-microchannels effectively mitigate the temperature decline along the process caused by increased solution release latent heat due to higher air mass flow rates, thereby enhancing along-process equivalent humidity and maintaining uniform distribution. Even when the solution-hot water inlet temperatures are equal, the thermal effects of fin-microchannels still increase the average along-process equivalent humidity of the solution by 6.8 g/kg and decrease IUH by 1.9 g/kg. At maximum temperature differences or flow rates, these effects enhance solution humidity. This work validates the accuracy of the 4NTU-Le regeneration model through experiments, elucidates the impact mechanism of fin-microchannel thermal effects on the regeneration process, and provides insights for optimizing the performance of solution regenerators. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
