The summer climate is very hot and humid in Korea. Humidity is an important factor in determining thermal comfort. Recently, research on dehumidification device development has been attempted to save the energy required for operating the dehumidifier. Existing dehumidification systems have disadvantages such as wasting energy to drive the compressor. Meanwhile, dehumidification systems with membranes can dehumidify humid air without increasing the dry bulb temperature. Therefore. they don't have to consume cooling energy. In this paper, the installation conditions for a membrane system were analyzed to improve the shape and optimum performance of the system. The results showed that the distance between elements was the critical system design factor, and that a distance of 20 mm was the optimal condition for the pressure drop and flow characteristics of the internal air flow.
