System
|
| 1. |
Warm,
humid incoming air flows through the first pass of the plate
type air-to-air heat exchangers for pre-cooling and initial
dehumidification. This is accomplished by regenerative thermal
exchange with the cooler air that is leaving the heat exchanger.
(see step 3)
|
| |
Advantage:Pre-cooling and dehumidification
by regenerative thermal exchange are "free" and
involve no additional equipment.
|
| 2. |
Pre-cooled
air then passes twice over conventional cooling coils for
final cooling and dehumidification.
|
| |
Advantage: Pre-cooled and pre-dehumidified
air can be treated much more efficiently, using smaller compressors
that require as little as one-half the power, or by equally reducing the load on the central chiller.
|
| 3. |
The cool, dehumidified
air is then drawn back through the opposite side of the heat
exchanger where it absorbs some heat from incoming air
(see step 1) and continues on to the building's HVAC system.
|
| |
Advantage:No heating coil—and no energy
penalty—needed to reheat the dehumidified air before it
enters the conditioned environment.
