Furthermore, the challenges arising from detailed modeling of air and possible simplifications using air models from other Modelica-Libraries are shown. The model with the simplified air model is used to test a control strategy based on the results of a past second-law-based analysis. The results show that this type of control strategy works and can keep a DW-Based plant in a tight margin of operation while mantaining optimal operating conditions.dehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/modelicaentropydesiccant wheelcontrol strategydehumidificationTechnology::628: Sanitary; MunicipalComputer Science, Information and General Works::004: Computer SciencesConference Presentation10.15480/882.18671
