结合硅胶干燥剂颗粒的新型复合材料为制备用于暖通空调除湿器的吸水介质提供了一种新方法。复合材料使用聚合物材料结合9微米的硅胶颗粒，对其吸湿性能的影响最小。一种复合材料的平行板吸附基质超过了“最先进”的微珠硅胶材料动态除湿能力47%。与“最先进”的材料相比，增加的容量可以减少40%的压降。关键词:干燥剂、吸附式除湿器、除湿器、二氧化硅、建筑服务、供暖、通风、空调、压降、水分。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第97卷，Pt。1991年，纽约

Novel composite materials that bind desiccant particles of silica gel provide a new way to make water sorption mediums for use in HVAC dehumidifiers. The composites use polymeric materials to bind 9-micron silica gel particles with minimal effect on their moisture sorptive properties. A parallel-plate sorption matrix of one composite exceeded "state-of-the-art" microbead silica gel material dynamic dehumidification capacity by 47%. The increased capacity was demonstrated while causing 40% less pressure drop than "state-of-the art" material.KEYWORDS: desiccants, adsorption dehumidifiers, dehumidifiers, silica, building services, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, pressure drop, moisture.
