Desumidificação do ar ambiente para secagem de sementes utilizando um evaporador de uma bomba de calor.

Abstract

In this work we have tried to determine the quantity of water that is condensed from the surrounding air when it passes through the evaporator of a heat pump as a function of its velocity and evaporator temperature. It can be observed from this research that the de-humidification of the surrounding air is satisfactorily obtained, but there exists a limitation on the operation time when relative air humidities lower than 35% are demanded, due to the forming of ice that restricts the operating time of the system.
