一家干燥剂除湿系统制造商正在与气体研究所、酒店业主和美国酒店和汽车旅馆协会执行工程师委员会合作，以解决酒店中的霉菌和其他湿度相关问题。通过使用干燥剂除湿器去除空气中的多余湿度，建筑物和家具可以保持干燥。干燥的空气反过来会清除建筑材料和家具中多余的水分，从而防止霉菌的生长。佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的一家低层酒店正在对一个装有热管的燃气干燥剂除湿系统进行现场测试。 该系统对外部空气进行除湿，因为它是进入典型酒店的90%水分的来源。这家旅馆有两翼。一个机翼使用基于干燥剂的除湿系统，而另一个机翼使用直接膨胀冷却和再热系统。该现场试验的初步结果表明，与适当尺寸的冷却/再热系统相比，干燥剂系统保持较低的湿度水平，并使用较少的能量。描述了1990年11月至1991年7月期间的试验场地、仪器、除湿系统和获得的结果。试验于1991年11月结束。关键词:现场测试、干燥剂、供暖、通风、空调、酒店、美国、热带、亚热带、模具、湿度、湿度、燃气、案例研究、室外空气、直接膨胀制冷、再热器、比较、计算、除湿、仪表、建筑、压力、加压、能耗、节能 ASHRAE Trans。1992年，第98卷，第1部分，论文编号AN-92-18-41303-1310，图9。，参考文献7。

A manufacturer of desiccant dehumidification systems is working with the Gas Research Institute, hotel owners, and the American Hotel and Motel Association Executive Engineers Committee to solve the problem of mould, mildew, and other humidity-related problems in hotels. Buildings and furnishings can be kept dry by using a desiccant dehumidifier to remove excess humidity from the air. Dry air, in turn, removes excess moisture from the building materials and furnishings, which prevents the growth of mould and mildew. A gas-fired desiccant dehumidification system that incorporates a heat pipe is being field tested at a low-rise hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida. The system is dehumidifying the outside air since it is the source of 90% of the moisture that enters a typical hotel. The hotel has two wings. One wing is using a desiccant-based dehumidification system, while the other wing is using a direct-expansion cooling and reheating system. The preliminary results of this field test demonstrates the desiccant-based system maintains lower humidity levels and also uses less energy than a properly sized cool/reheat system. Describes the test site, instrumentation, dehumidification systems, and the results obtained for the period from November 1990 through July 1991. The test ended in November 1991.KEYWORDS: site testing, desiccants, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, hotels, USA, tropics, subtropics, moulds, humidity, moisture, gas fired, case studies, outdoor air, direct expansion refrigeration, reheaters, comparing, calculating, dehumidifying, instruments, buildings, pressure, pressurisation, energy consumption, energy conservation
