A fixed bed desiccant dehumidifier has been constructed and monitored under laboratory conditions simulating operation in a passive solar dehumidification system. The performance of a vertical, packed bed of silica gel under a range of stream velocities, inlet humidities and temperatures, and bed lengths has been studied. The data will be used to validate a simple, inexpensive, FORTRAN computer model. Testing has just begun and initial results indicate a good correlation between the predicted and observed data.
