Performance of a novel 3-fluid liquid-to-air membrane energy exchanger (3-Fluid LAMEE) is tested under desiccant solution regeneration operating conditions.
Sensitivity of the performances of the 3-fluid LAMEE and a 2-fluid LAMEE to several operating parameters is tested and compared.
Results show that the performance of the 3-fluid LAMEE is higher than the 2-fluid LAMEE under the entire range of operating parameters studied.
Under some conditions, the 3rd fluid is able to increase the moisture transfer rate by a factor of 17.
