Thread-topic: [EnergyPlus_Support] Heating of Process Air Via Solar Thermal Collectors

Unfortunately, the Desiccant component models in EnergyPlus currently only allow for Gas and Electric air heating coils. A Coil:Heating:Water would be what you want but the desiccant models can not (yet) handle using that type of coil for regeneration.

The only thing I can suggest is to use an electric coil to get the regeneration power/energy requirements and then compare that to the available solar hot water resources.

Hi,

Anyone can help me on this? Any thing like an water-to-air heat exchanger or something similar in EnergyPlus? Thanks.

Regards,

Dear All,

Is Energyplus able to model the heating of process air via solar thermal collectors to assist in the regeneration of a dessicant cooling model? I am intending of heating the exhaust air (prior to the dessicant dehumidifier) with a solar thermal collector acting as a heat source (probably connected to a thermal storage system as well). Is there a way to do so in EnergyPlus?

Are there any example files or information that I can refer to?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Poh Khai
