The Impact of the Heat and Humid Regime on Building Materials and Development of New Structure of Air Dehumidifier

Abstract:

Non-observance of the heat and humidity regime in buildings can lead to significant problems such as the formation of condensation on the internal surfaces of the enclosing structures, which not only destroys the construction of the building but also leads to the formation of mould, fungi that are dangerous for human life and health. In addition, the use of construction or thermal insulation materials in a humid environment increases the energy consumption as a result of which the building's energy efficiency is reduced. In this paper considered the impact of the heat and humidity regime on the construction and thermal insulation materials, and also presents a developed new structure of an air dryer dehumidifier. The results of the study showed that an increase in the moisture content of the construction material by 10%, the thermal conductivity of the material increases from 6% to 60%, which will significantly increase the heating and cooling demand of the building. The developed new structure of the air dehumidifier reduces the humidity of the air, without using additional equipment, or substance such as refrigerant or absorbent. The proposed device significantly reduces capital and operating costs.
