Dehumidifier for the pool in OpenStudio
Hi!
I want to use OperStudio to simulate a classic pool dehumidifier. This dryer should include an evaporator, condenser, compressor and fan as shown in the diagram. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to simulate such a device. Please tell me what are the ways to solve this issue.
I simulated a pool dehumidification process using the Unitary DX Heat Pump. Do I understand correctly that in this case energy recovery does not occur:
- The cooling coil cools the air and condenses the moisture and then the heating coil heats the air.
- When cooling the coil, energy comes from outside thanks to the compressor. During heating, the energy of the electric heater is used.
Thank you.
@LicControl you used the
desiccanttag, but didn't mention desiccant in your post. Is the dehumidifier using a vapor-compression cycle with a desiccant?I mean a classic dryer with an evaporator, compressor and freon condenser. It's possible that my English is not very good and I misused the term. Sorry.
It may be necessary to use this EnergyPlus object: ZoneHVAC:Dehumidifier:DX . If so, what is the correct way to add this object to OpenStudio. Perhaps there is such a measure, or it must be written from scratch.
