Experimental investigation of evaporation temperature effects on moisture separation efficiency

The removal of moisture from air by cooling is a vital process in various industrial applications, notably in drying systems. This study experimentally investigates the impact of evaporation temperature on the efficiency of moisture separation using a cooling method. A specially designed test rig was developed to evaluate the moisture removal performance under varying evaporation temperatures while maintaining consistent airflow and ambient conditions. Results indicate that lowering the evaporation temperature significantly increases the moisture separation rate but at the expense of higher energy consumption. An optimal range for evaporation temperature balancing efficiency and energy use is identified. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing dehumidification systems, particularly for industrial drying applications.
