文摘

A novel 3-fluid LAMEE is tested under air heating and humidifying conditions. Effect of phase change energy on desiccant solution temperature in LAMEEs is tested. Degradation in 3-fluid LAMEE performance due to membrane deflections is estimated. New technique to reduce membrane deflections in LAMEEs is experimentally studied.
