Membrane-based isothermal dehumidification has been studied
systematically through experiments and numerical simulations.
Key results have shown that the developed technology is
suitable for air dehumidification in tropical countries. It is further
inferred from this work that a balance must be found between
the membrane dehumidification performance and COP when
changing membrane’s selectivity and permeate pressure. Increasing
membrane physical size is a potential way to improve its dehumidification
capability without compromising achieving higher
COP and operating at higher feed velocity
