Abstract: A sensible and latent heat exchange or adsorbent media formed from an improved desiccant or adsorbent paper having higher strength and thinner gauge to provide increased area of media, the media having a multiplicity of passageways therethrough through which an air stream can flow. The improved desiccant or adsorbent paper is comprised of fibrillated and non-fibrillated organic fibers formed to provide an improved support material having improved levels of strength and higher levels of desiccant or adsorbent material contained in the improved fibrous support material to provide the improved paper.

The improved desiccant or adsorbent paper is comprised of fibrillated organic fibers formed to provide an improved support material having improved levels of strength and higher levels of desiccant or adsorbent material contained in the improved fibrous support material to provide the improved paper. The improved desiccant paper is capable of adsorbing or transferring sensible heat from a warm air stream and releasing or transferring the absorbed sensible heat into a cool air stream as the air stream flows though the sensible and latent heat exchange media.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gas permeable, sensible and latent heat exchange media having a multiplicity of passageways therethrough through which an air stream can flow, the sensible and latent heat exchange media. The heat exchange media comprises a fibrous support material, a finely powdered desiccant material and fire retardant contained in the fibrous support material. The fibrous support material and the fire retardant are capable of adsorbing sensible heat from a warm air stream and releasing the absorbed sensible heat into a cool air stream as the air stream flows through the sensible and latent heat exchange media. The desiccant material is capable of adsorbing moisture from a humid air stream flowing through the sensible and latent heat exchange media and capable of releasing the adsorbed moisture into a dry air stream flowing through the passageways of the sensible and latent heat exchange media.
