摘要： Air flows across an air-liquid interface such that liquid desiccant flowing through the interface absorbs water from the air and is thereby diluted to form an output stream. The output stream is circulated through an electrodialytic stack having a central ionic exchange membrane and first and second outer ionic exchange membranes. A redox shuttle loop circulates around the first and second outer ionic exchange membranes. A voltage is applied across the electrodialytic stack, which regenerates the liquid desiccant.

摘要： A liquid panel assembly configured to be used with an energy exchanger may include a support frame having one or more fluid circuits and at least one membrane secured to the support frame. Each of the fluid circuits may include an inlet channel connected to an outlet channel through one or more flow passages. A liquid is configured to flow through the fluid circuits and contact interior surfaces of the membrane(s). The fluid circuits are configured to at least partially offset liquid hydrostatic pressure with friction loss of the liquid flowing within the fluid circuits to minimize, eliminate, or otherwise reduce pressure within the liquid panel assembly.

摘要： A system and method reduce a concentration of viable microorganisms, including but not limited to the 2019 novel (new) coronavirus that causes the illness coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in air in a workspace by over 80% with a single pass of air through the system. A heater heats air drawn from the workspace and a desiccant dehumidifier further heats air from the heater. The heater and desiccant dehumidifier decontaminate the air to kill or inactivate the microorganisms so that air returned to the workspace from the system has a reduced concentration of viable microorganisms.

摘要： A cooling systems utilizes an organic ionic salt composition for dehumidification of an airflow. The organic ionic salt composition absorbs moisture from an inlet airflow to produce an outlet airflow with a reduce moisture from that of the inlet airflow. The organic ionic salt composition may be regenerated, wherein the absorbed moisture is expelled by heating with a heating device. The heating device may be an electrochemical heating device, such as a fuel cell, an electrochemical metal hydride heating device, an electrochemical heat pump or compressor, or a condenser of a refrigerant cycle, which may utilize an electrochemical pump or compressor. The efficiency of the cooling system may be increased by utilization of the waste heat the cooling system. The organic ionic salt composition may circulate back and forth or in a loop between a conditioner, where it absorbs moisture, to a regenerator, where moisture is desorbed by heating.

摘要： In the present invention, liquid absorbent is cooled or heated during off-peak hours of electricity demand to prevent the margin between electricity supply and demand from being tightened. A humidity control apparatus switches an absorbent circuit between a regenerated position in which a regeneration circuit is formed, and a humidity-controlled position in which a humidity control circuit is formed. In the regeneration circuit, during a period during which humidity control operation is stopped, outlet and inlet ends of a regeneration passage communicate with each other, and liquid absorbent circulates within the regeneration passage. In the humidity control circuit, during the humidity control operation, a humidity control passage and the regeneration passage communicate with each other, and liquid absorbent circulates between the humidity control passage and the regeneration passage.

摘要： An air conditioning and water producing system includes a heat pumping unit and a membrane contactor in thermal communication with the heat pumping unit. The membrane contactor is configured such that a first brine flow is cooled by the heat pumping unit and diluted at the membrane contactor. A distiller is in thermal communication with the heat pumping unit and the membrane contactor such that a second brine flow is heated by the heat pumping unit and conveyed through the distiller. Thermal interaction between the second brine flow and the first brine flow flowing through the distiller extracts water from the second brine flow.
