| Abstract | This study presents a numerical investigation of a membrane-based humidification module for indoor humidity
control. The simulation model was developed by varying water flow rate and temperature as primary parameters, aiming
to predict the moisture transfer behavior under controlled conditions. External weather data for winter were obtained from
the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), and the load calculations were performed using the TRNSYS simulation
program, which included effects of outdoor conditions, thermal transmittance, and infiltration factors, to estimate the required
humidification load for a target laboratory space. Based on the computed humidification demand, the membrane module
performance was evaluated to assess its capability in meeting indoor humidity targets. The results provide fundamental insights
into the design and optimization of membrane humidifiers for HVAC applications, and will be further validated through
future experimental studies. |
