本文报告了一项调查，旨在更好地了解雷诺数和气流速度对除湿器性能的影响。该研究遵循经典的传热传质方法，其结果通过对数平均关系进行检验。然后根据经验证实，它们适用于广泛的热环境范围。必须克服的一个主要问题是需要隔离所有其他也会影响除湿器性能的参数。这是有必要的，以便将研究仅限于空调系统中穿过除湿器的气流速度变化。新发现表明，除湿器同时冷却和除湿的作用对结果有重要影响。实施这些发现可以提高整个空调系统的运行效率。引用:ASHRAE交易，第88卷，第2部分，加拿大多伦多

This paper reports on an investigation seeking to better understand the influence of Reynolds number and airstream velocity on dehumidifier performance.The investigation follows a classical heat and mass transfer approach, the results of which are checked by use of log mean relationships. They are then confirmed empirically to apply over a broad thermal environmental range.A major problem that had to be overcome was the need to isolate all other parameters which also influence dehumidifier performance. This was necessary to confine the study only to airstream velocity variation across the dehumidifier in context of the air-conditioning system. New findings show that the role of the dehumidifier to simultaneously cool and dehumidify has an important influence on the results. The implementation of these findings can lead to more efficient operation of the total air conditioning system.
