description •Liquid-to-air membrane energy exchangers are called LAMEEs in this paper.•For the first time, the solution-side (SS) effectiveness are introduced for LAMEEs.•The SS effectiveness is very important when a LAMEE is used as a regenerator.•Both the air-side and solution-side effectiveness of the LAMEE increase with Cr∗.•The air-side and solution-side effectiveness values are different in most cases. A liquid-to-air membrane energy exchanger (LAMEE) is an energy exchange device that transfers heat and moisture between air and salt solution streams through a semi-permeable membrane which is permeable for water vapor but impermeable for liquid water. LAMEEs have been used as a dehumidifier/regenerator in air-conditioning systems. In this paper, the solution-side effectiveness are presented for a small-scale single-panel LAMEE when it is used to regenerate the solution flow. The solution-side effectiveness are very important in regenerators where the main focus is on the salt solution, and the solution properties (i.e. solution outlet concentration) are important. The small-scale LAMEE is tested under air dehumidification and solution regeneration test conditions using a LiCl solution at one NTU (i.e. NTU=5) and three different Cr∗ values (Cr∗=2, 4 and 6). The results show that both the air-side and solution-side effectiveness of the LAMEE increase with Cr∗. The solution-side latent effectiveness is lower for the regenerator in comparison to the dehumidifier (e.g. 43% lower at Cr∗=6). Also, the numerical results for a small-scale LAMEE which were presented in literature are used in this paper to evaluate the solution-side effectiveness of the LAMEE under different test conditions. The numerical results show that the difference between the air-side and solution-side latent effectiveness are negligible. Therefore, the air-side latent effectiveness can be used to evaluate the solution-side latent effectiveness of LAMEEs.
