MSP® Technology (Centerport, NY) a world leader in the development of energy-efficient dehumidification and heat recovery technology, announced today that it has entered into a license agreement with Desert Aire Corporation (Milwaukee, WI) for its patented MSP® Heat Transfer Technology. Desert Aire, a major manufacturer of dehumidifiers to mainstream commercial markets, is licensed to manufacturer and market MSP Dehumidifying Coils and MSP Heat Exchangers in its product lines. Desert Aire’s primary markets are supermarkets, indoor swimming pools and makeup air equipment.

According to Desert Aire President Keith Coursin, “After we did the necessary calculations, we knew it was just a matter of time that we’d be doing business with MSP Technology. When our engineering department confirmed our theories about the additional anticipated energy savings we could achieve by adding MSP heat exchangers into our TotalAire units, we began our negotiations with MSP.”

Walter Stark, President of MSP Technology commented, “We could not be more pleased with Keith Coursin as our partner. Desert Aire is a leader in the dehumidification industry and has a strong reputation as being on the cutting edge of technological development through creative engineering. The team of professionals at Desert Aire is second to none.”

Stark added, “Nautica Dehumidifiers, Inc., our finished-products subsidiary, will continue to research fresh opportunities in humidity control and energy recovery and help develop new markets for MSP products by working closely with original equipment manufacturers and system integrators.”

The MSP Dehumidifying Coil is a highly efficient, compact, unitary dehumidifying component with low pressure drop and uniform loading of the cooling coil circuits. It is pre-engineered and designed for simple application to air handling systems. It also has versatile dimensions and airflow configurations with capacities from 200 to 24,000 CFM. Larger models can be built to specification.

Plate heat exchangers are the most efficient heat transfer device for enhanced dehumidification and the MSP Dehumidifying Coil offers a simple, cost-effective solution for combining plate heat exchangers with traditional cooling coils for dehumidification. The MSP Dehumidifying Coil is designed to deliver as low as 35°F dew point and convert more than 90% of the input cooling power to latent energy. Up to 50% energy savings over conventional dehumidifiers ensures a fast return on investment. The MSP Dehumidifying Coil is the only high-efficiency dehumidification component that can be used with chilled water and direct expansion systems, requiring no added reheat energy.
