Abstract
Improvements in productivity may be obtained if water vapor is carried away directly by flowing air. Humidities at the condensing surfaces and in the outlet air were assumed to differ from the saturation values by empirically determined factors. The effects of operating conditions on these factors a re discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
