Calculation of theoretical coefficients of performance for an improved mechanical dehumidifier

OSTI ID:6248188
The coefficient of performance (COP) as a product goal for an improved mechanical dehumidification is calculated. The application examined is the removal of water from the air. The amount of water is calculated as pounds of water removed by the system per hour multiplied by the latent heat of vaporization expressed in Btu's of water removed per hour. This quantity becomes the numerator in the COP expression and the denominator is the power consumed by the air conditioner converted from watts to Btu's per hour. Another way to express this COP is Btu's of latent cooling per Btu of power consumed. The calculation technique is outlined and a sample calculation is provided. (MCW)
