Desiccant
is a type of material which draws and holds the moisture from the air or vapor.
A desiccant can be a liquid or solid. Desiccant wheel is a circular structure
with impregnated desiccant material. These desiccant materials are used
depending on the percentage of relative humidity (%RH). A desiccant wheel is
often used in commercial applications such as refrigerated warehouse, ice
rinks, supermarkets, hospitals, and cooling systems to remove moisture from
air. These wheels are primarily used for dehumidification without the use of
refrigeration. In addition, desiccant wheels are widely used for energy
recovery methods. Furthermore, desiccant wheel also helps to control the
humidity effectively, and efficiently in Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning
(HVAC) systems. Similarly, desiccant wheel finds application in various
industrial processes such as drying, cooling, and heating processes. A key
market player, Semco, LLC introduced a fast acting, and corrosion resistant
unitary wheel cassette (UWC) desiccant wheel for improved latent energy
recovery. Furthermore, with enhancing desiccant technology, small gas fired or
hot water regenerated desiccant equipment are currently being used to control
humidity. Another development in this technology was made by NovelAire
Technologies, which provides a twin wheel system in which a desiccant wheel is
used for dehumidification, and a sensible wheel for heat exchange.
The
demand for desiccant wheel is increasing due to insufficient dilution of
contaminants produced within the building. The acceptance of desiccant wheels
is increasing widely to improve the indoor air quality. In addition, the need
to control humidity is increasing across various spaces such as supermarkets,
and hospitals. Furthermore, a desiccant wheel improves comfort, saves energy,
and prevents formation of corrosion, and mildew. All these associated benefits
are expected to help drive the growth of global desiccant wheel market over the
forecast period. However, the complexity of desiccant wheel system, and
performance of desiccant material used in the wheel are the major challenges in
the adoption of desiccant wheel. Furthermore, in some applications such as
solar collectors, high thermal energy is required to regenerate the desiccant
wheel. In addition, the high cost of desiccant wheel is expected to restrain
the growth of desiccant wheel market.
The
desiccant wheel market is segmented by desiccant material type, application,
and geography. By desiccant material type, the desiccant wheel market is
segmented into silica gel desiccant (WSG) type, zeolite type, lithium chloride
type, and others (Molecular Sieve (LT3), Aluminum, etc. Based on application,
the desiccant wheel market is segmented into pharmaceutical, chemical,
manufacturing, electronics, HVAC, and others (supermarkets, hospitals, etc.).
Based on geography, the desiccant wheel market is segmented into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa. Among these
regions, North America and Europe have been witnessing high growth in the
desiccant wheel market due to increased demand for indoor air quality in
multiple applications, and increased requirement for cooling systems from the
manufacturing sector. In addition, Asia Pacific, and Middle East and Africa
regions are expected to witness large scale adoption of desiccant wheel
technology due to increasing demand for humidity control in industrial
processes, and rising usage of energy recovery technologies.
