초록

제습로터에서 발생하는 공기누설은 로터와 브러쉬 형태의 누설방지모 틈새의 양단 사이 차압에 의해 발생하는 압력누설이 지배적이며, 실험을 통해 압력누설특성을 파악하였다. 그 결과로, 압력누설량을 로터와 누설방지모의 틈새면적과 차압의 함수로 나타내었다. 위의 상관식을 바탕으로 제습로터의 공기누설모델을 개발하였으며, 실험을 통해 측정된 값과 위 모델을 바탕으로 계산된 값을 비교함으로써 공기누설모델을 검증하였다. 그리고 풍량에 따른 제습로터의 성능실험을 수행하였으며, 공기누설모델을 적용한 성능 분석을 통하여 실질적인 제습량과 공기누설량을 확인 하였다. 또한 동일한 제습로터가 적용된 제습냉방시스템을 고려하여 차압변화에 따른 공기누설의 영향을 공기누설모델을 이용하여 고찰하였다.

This study investigates the pressure leakage characteristics of a desiccant rotor with a brush-type air seal. Through a pressure leakage experiment, a correlation equation for the leakage air flow rate is obtained as a function of the air seal area and pressure difference. Using this equation, an air leakage model for the desiccant rotor is developed. By comparing simulation results with the experimental results for the desiccant rotor, the accuracy of the air leakage model is demonstrated. A performance test of a desiccant rotor with various air flow rates is carried out. Using the air leakage model, the effective mass flow rate and air leakage rate are found. In addition, the characteristics of the air leakage are analyzed for a desiccant cooling system using the developed air leakage model.
