介绍了一种干燥剂基质性能测试的有效方法，以及一个计算机程序，该程序使用经验推导的性能算法，使用测试的基质预测干燥剂系统的性能。该测试方法只需要少量基质样本，就可以优化除湿或除湿冷却应用中使用的除湿轮的工作参数。在测试过程中，将固定基质样品暴露于多股工艺气流和再生气流中。这模拟了材料暴露在旋转干燥剂轮中的条件。与整个车轮或整个系统测试相比，使用该方法的主要优点是易于操作优化参数（例如:。 g、 ，再生与工艺循环的比率），测试所需基质的尺寸（成本），以及测试期间需要调节和控制的低风量。基质样品的动态测试结果与制造商的干燥剂转轮性能数据具有良好的相关性。关键词:1997年，测试，干燥剂，性能，计算，计算机程序，算法，除湿，空调引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1997年，第103卷，第一部分

Describes an effective method of desiccants matrix performance testing and a computer program that uses empirically derived performance algorithms to predict the performance of desiccant systems using the tested matrices. The testing method requires only a small sample of matrix to optimize the working parameters of the desiccant wheel used in dehumidification or desiccant cooling applications. During testing, a stationary matrix sample is exposed to multiple and reversing flows of process and regenerating air-streams. This simulates conditions to which the material is exposed in a rotating desiccant wheel. The main advantages of using this method, in comparison to a whole wheel or entire system testing, is an ease in manipulating optimising parameters (e.g., ratio of regeneration to process cycle), size (cost) of matrix needed for testing, and low volumes of air flows requiring conditioning and control during testing. The results of dynamic testing of matrix samples correlated well with manufacturers' data of desiccant wheel performance.KEYWORDS: year 1997, Testing, desiccants, performance, calculating, computer programs, algorithms, dehumidifying, air conditioning
