Experimental Results on Advanced Rotary Desiccant Dehumidifiers
The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) has
developed the Cyclic Test Facility (CTF) to develop
and validate analytical methods for evaluating and
predicting the performance of advanced rotary dehumidifiers.
This paper describes the CTF, the dehumidifiers
tested at the CTF, and the analytical
methods used. The results reported provide an engineering
data base and a design tool for evaluating
rotary dehumidifiers for desiccant cooling
applications
2004: Usage and risk of hydrocarbon refrigerants in motor cars for Australia and the United States
The measured US fire, injury and cabin overpressure frequencies are less than 3.2 × 10 −7 per car year with high probability. This fire frequency is a hundred times lower than predicted because most R290/600a leaks in MACS use are effectively nonflammable
