Solid desiccant dehumidification is a promising alternative to vapor compression-based air-dehumidification to reduce energy consumption and improve air quality. Desiccant coated heat exchanger (DCHE), as one type of solid desiccant dehumidification system, can improve system performance and efficiency. The thermal performance and moisture removal capability of the DCHE greatly influence its dehumidification performance.The present work aims to critically analyze the designs, materials, and manufacturing methods of heat exchangers used for solid desiccant coating and look into recent developments in regular heat exchangers, potentially deployed as a substrate for DCHE applications. A comprehensive literature review of publications regarding solid desiccant materials, heat exchangers, manufacturing and coating methods, binder materials, and the performance of heat exchangers has been developed. Alternative heat exchangers are described as better options than fin and tube heat exchangers that have been considered thus far for DCHE applications. Additionally, the heat exchanger's manufacturing process and materials over their thermal and mass exchange performance have been analyzed. Despite the widespread use of fin and tube heat exchangers for solid desiccant coating, recent developments in heat exchanger design, and related fields such as manufacturing methods and materials, open the possibilities for their application in solid desiccant dehumidification systems. Lastly, the authors provide their outlook on possible developments of DCHE technology, aiming to increase systems' energy and dehumidification performance.
