Abstract
In view of the dehumidification problem of ring main unit, a dehumidification scheme using a small dehumidification rotor is proposed. A small dehumidification rotor device impregnated with polymer adsorbent was designed and manufactured. The experimental device adopts thermal balance calibration, and the error range is less than 3%. In order to further study the performances of the small dehumidifying rotor, the small dehumidifying rotor was tested by changing the regeneration temperature and speed under two air conditions of high temperature and high humidity and low temperature and high humidity. The test results show that it has good dehumidification effect under the two different environmental conditions. After a long time of on-site dehumidification test of the ring main unit, even if the relative humidity outside the ring main unit reaches more than 80%, the relative humidity inside the ring main unit remains below 65%, effectively solving the problem of condensation in the main unit.
