Abstract
An empirical correction of the measured state of the process air at the outlet of the desiccant wheel is used. The corrected data are used in the investigation of the validity of the effectiveness method by using constant values in a large set of cases where the rotation speed of the desiccant wheels and the fans are kept constant. Important deviations between the predicted and the experimental results were found in a significant number of cases, therefore there is the need of improving the method by taking into account the effect on the effectiveness parameters of varying the inlet states of both airflows.
