Experimental investigations were carried out to examine the heat and mass transfer characteristics of LiCl aqueous solution for a plate heat exchanger type dehumidifier. Cooling dehumidification was adopted vertical type heat exchanger. Also non woven fabric is attached surface of the heat exchanger for spreadability of LiCl aqueous solution. Mass flow-rate of LiCl aqueous solution and concentration were selected as experimental conditions. Also, In this study, the effects of relative humidity of process air and velocity were investigated experimentally. As a result of heat transfer coefficient and mass transfer coefficient of were increased film reynolds number increased. heat transfer coefficient and mass transfer coefficient of LiCl aqueous solution were 0.14~0.24 kW/$m2^{\circ}C$ and $1.3{\times}10-63{\sim}6.2{\times}10-6$ m/s respectively.
