Enhancing Cotes adsorption dehumidification energy efficiency with possible increase in capacity under the right conditions.
A Heat Recovery (HR) module allows some of the waste heat in the regeneration outlet to be used to preheat the incoming regeneration air. By utilizing this waste heat to preheat the inlet air, the electrical heaters of the dehumidifier require less power to reach the desired temperature. This process increases the overall efficiency of the dehumidifier, leading to lower operational costs. Typically, the payback time for such a heat recovery system is very feasible.

What is the primary benefit of using a Heat Recovery (HR) module?
The primary benefit of using a Heat Recovery (HR) module is to reduce energy consumption. By shifting part of the heating requirement from the main heater to the HR module, you can achieve energy savings of up to 20% per module.
Does the HR module increase the capacity of the system?
Yes the HR modules can boost the capacity by 3-5 % within the nominal range, but if regeneration air flow is increased it can be up more than 20 %.
Can the HR module be used to boost heat output?
Yes, Heat Recovery (HR) modules can be used to boost heat output. This involves increasing the regeneration flow to keep the temperature below a specific threshold, such as 130°C. However, this approach is more complex and dependent on the specific model.
How does using an HR module as a heat booster work?
Using an HR module as a heat booster involves increasing the regeneration flow while maintaining the temperature below a certain threshold (e.g., 130°C). This method can provide extra capacity, but it requires careful control and understanding of the system’s parameters.
What should I consider when using the calculator tool for HR modules?
When using the calculator tool for HR modules, it’s important to account for all variables accurately. Ensure that you consider any increases in flow, as this can impact the overall performance and capacity calculations.
