Energy saving in air conditioning system using hollow fibre membrane modules

Treball desenvolupat en el marc del programa "European Project Semester".The high content of water vapour in the air is the cause of energetic overconsumptions in the air conditioning systems. To overcome this, we propose the implementation of an additional stage using hollow fibre membranes. The experimental membrane module available in the lab makes it possible to study the system and to provide sufficient data to prototype the plant design. Monitoring and control of the lab plant is included in the project. The simulation of the dehumidification process is necessary in order to evaluate the prototype plant behaviour. The costs of the scale-up will be included in the project for economic viability study.Incomin
