Benefits of technology

The invention provides a module that allows for cross-flow liquid flow in a liquid channel, which can be adjusted to enhance the exchange of liquids. This is preferred to adjusting air flow, as it reduces the risk of liquid carry-over and damage to pipes and materials. Additionally, a second liquid flow can be used to switch the module into an enhanced operation mode, without creating turbulence in the air channel. Overall, the invention improves the efficiency and effectiveness of liquid flow control in air-conditioning systems.

Problems solved by technology

This increases the risk of carry-over of liquid, particularly liquid desiccant.
Such carry-over is undesired, as it may not be healthy and moreover, liquid desiccants are often corrosive, thus damaging pipes and other materials in an unpredictable and undesired manner.
The second disadvantage particularly relates to the integration of a module, such as a dehumidifier or an evaporator, into an air-conditioning system.

Embodiment Construction

[0048]FIG. 1 shows in a diagrammatical view an HMX module 100 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The HMX module 100 comprises a plurality of plates. Most preferably, the plates are sheets 10, which comprise a carrier layer between a first and a second layer of wicking material. The wicking material is more suitably a non-woven textile material, such as cotton or rayon. The first and second layer may further contain another material mixed therewith, such as an engineering plastic. More details on the sheet are specified in the non-prepublished application NL2013566 in the name of Applicant. However, alternative options are not excluded in the context of the present invention. The sheets are suitably substantially identical, so that the corrugation in the sheets is repetitive and the distance between the sheets does not change. The sheets are corrugated, as will be discussed with reference to following figures. Due to the corrugation and its orientation, the sheets, whi...

Abstract

A heat and mass exchange (HMX) module comprising a plurality of plates in a spaced-apart arrangement and provided with a plurality of air channels for air flow and a plurality of liquid channels for flow of liquid, wherein a liquid channel is present on a surface of a plate and is arranged adjacent to an air channel with a mutual exchange surface, wherein the liquid channel is provided with a width extending substantially perpendicular to a flow direction in the liquid channel, further comprising means for setting a flow profile over the width of the liquid channel.
