Slide 14
Approach Six The mechanism process flow of the device runs as
follows: The cooling fans draw the external air into the main
operating space. The air drawn cooling up the space, dry up the
subject and vaporize the water from subject into air inside the
operating space. The exhaust fan beneath the hanger draws the wet
air/humidity in the operating space and channel them to
dehumidifying component in other compartment. i-DID : Technical

Slide 16
Approach Six 4 important terms to be well-comprehended: RPM
(rotational per minute) The angular speed of the fan or moving air
CFM (cubic feet meter) The air volume flow rate (either input or
output) Air Changes Per Hour, N The rate of air changes (input or
output) in an hour period Operating Space Size Size of main
operating space where the process occurs The Fan Law stated that:
i-DID : Technical Analysis 2 TECHNICAL CALCULATION
Slide 17
Approach Six Provided that formula shown is the Air Changes Per
Hour, N The industrial standard has classified the normal air
changes per hour for extremely damp or wet place as N=6. By
substituting the values into the formula given, the value of Q
obtained is 0.338 CFM. Thus, Q=0.338 CFM is the minimum air flow
rate required to have N=6 or 6 air changes per hour. At this rate,
using the formula of Fan Law, the estimated speed obtained is 47.94
RPM. i-DID : Technical Analysis
Slide 18
Approach Six Concerning the air flow rate, the CFM ratio is
calculated to find the efficiency of the air flow rate. Thus, the
flow rate efficiency ratio of the fan specification to the minimum
requirement of flow rate for at N=6 is 46 times more efficient.
With the specification of flow rate = 0.338 CFM, air changes
increase from N=6 to N=179 or approximately 3 air changes per
minute. i-DID : Technical Analysis

Amount of humidity needed to be eliminated: Calculating the energy
(heat) required for vaporization process: i-DID : Technical
Analysis
Slide 21
Approach Six Assumptions: saturation temperature of water = 100
Celsius and at standard atmospheric pressure. Thus, latent heat of
vaporization of water = 2257 kJ/kg and specific heat capacity of
cotton = 1162 J/(kg.C) Thus the energy required for vaporization
process of water is 526.93 kJ. Converting the value into hourly
rate of power, the amount required to be overcame is 0.1466 kWh.
i-DID : Technical Analysis
Slide 22
Approach Six Cooling Capacity VS Latent Heat of Vaporization
The energy required for vaporization process = 0.1466 kWh The
average cooling capacity for each fan in used = 70 Watt
Calculation: Estimated Hour of Usage = 1.25 hours, Thus, Hourly
Rate of Power (Each Fan) = 0.0875 kWh Since two fans are in used,
thus Hourly Rate of Power = 0.175 kWh 0.175 kWh is higher than
0.1466 kWh, thus the vaporization process is stable. i-DID :

Approach Seven Dehumidifying Components Comparison Test i-DID :
Testing and Result Test Description Test Procedure To measure the
performance efficiency of different dehumidifying components of
different portions at constant conditions All the tests are carried
out simultaneously at the constant conditions (temperature,
pressure, volume and humidity rate) Four different same-sized and
covered box are arranged in proper manner. A small beaker of pure
water (100% humidity) is allocated in each box. The volume of water
is kept constant. Then, each box is assigned with different
portions and types of dehumidifying components. All observations
and data are recorded.
Slide 27

Slide 29
Approach Seven Test Analysis Based on the test conducted: Rate
of humidity absorption process in dehumidifying components are
tested. 100% charcoal portion has the highest efficiency as a
dehumidifying component with approximately 14.30%. The 100%
charcoal portion is presented in form of granular and powder form
in order to increase contact area with air. The efficiency of the
100% charcoal portion can be further increase by using driving
force device such as fan or blower. i-DID : Testing and Result
Slide 30
Approach Seven Device Performance Test i-DID : Testing and
Result Test Description Test Procedure To measure the overall
performance efficiency of the device in completing the assigned
task The machine is setup with the charcoal supply. The machine is
switched on for operation and left for 5 minutes for reaching
stabilization. A small towel is prepared and original weight is
recorded. The towel is wet up and the initial wet weight is
recorded. The small towel is put and arranged into the main
operating space. The top cover of the device is closed down to
start the process. The weight of the towel is recorded in every 10-
minutes interval. The experiment is carried out for one hour. All
observations and data are recorded.
Slide 31
Approach Seven From the table, a device performance graph is
constructed. i-DID : Testing and Result
Slide 32
Approach Seven Test Analysis The experiment is carried out in
an-hour period to find the change in humidity (water absorbed) by
the towel. After 60-minutes, the change of mass observed is 0.16
kg. As the mass of towel (0.1 kg) is kept constant, the mass of
water in the towel has reduced from 0.2 kg to 0.04 kg. At 0.04 kg
mass of water, the humidity is at 16 % compared to 0.2 kg mass of
water (humidity is at 80%) In an hour the drying efficiency is
estimated 80%. i-DID : Testing and Result
Slide 33
Approach Seven Voltage Volume Test i-DID : Testing and Result
Test Description Test Procedure To measure the DC power supply
lifetime for every load or usage. The test is carried out at the
constant conditions (temperature, pressure, volume and humidity
rate) All switches are ensured to be switch on. Both ends of the DC
power supply are connected with the multi-meter to find the current
readings. The average current readings are taken by using a
multi-meter. The data is calculated and analyzed to find the
estimated life time period of a power supply.
Slide 34
Approach Seven Test Analysis Test result found that the process
used an estimated amount of 0.7 ampere for each cycle run an hour.
Provided that the rechargeable DC power supply runs 7.2 ampere,
thus it is recommended the power supply to be recharged after
10-hours of usage. i-DID : Testing and Result
