影响开式循环干燥剂冷却系统性能的一个重要参数是干燥剂吸附等温线的形状。干燥剂基质热容、传热传质阻力和等温线形状之间的关系也会影响干燥剂冷却系统的性能。这些关系通过计算机模拟进行量化。结果表明，1型等温线对热容的敏感性低于线性或温和的2型等温线。此外，无论等温线形状如何，传热和传质阻力的影响基本相同。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第95卷，pt。1989年，芝加哥

An important parameter that affects the performance of open-cycle desiccant cooling systems is the shape of the desiccant adsorption isotherm. Relationships between the desiccant matrix heat capacity, the heat and mass transfer resistance, and the isotherm shape will also influence desiccant cooling system performance. These relationships are quantified by computer simulation. Results showed that Type 1 isotherms are less sensitive to the presence of heat capacity than linear or mild Type 2 isotherms. Also, the effects of heat and mass transfer resistance are essentially the same regardless of isotherm shape.
