Abstract
In this paper, by analyzing the heat and mass transfer characteristics of the dehumidification runner microelement channel of a drinking water emergency extraction vehicle, a mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in the water intake process is established, and the influence of the runner parameters (adsorbent thickness, regeneration angle, rotation speed) and air parameters (treatment air temperature/humidity, regenerated air temperature/humidity) on the water intake characteristics is mainly studied. Water extraction experiments are carried out in arid desert areas and humid island environments. The test results showed that compared with the calculated data, the deviations in the temperature and humidity of the treated air outlet were 3.03% and 4.14%, respectively, and the deviation value of the water intake was 8.23% when the moisture content of the inlet air was 2 g/kg.
