Abstract

An air system includes an enclosure. A compressor, a first energy exchange device, an expansion device, and a second energy exchange device are each positioned in or along the enclosure and connected in a closed refrigerant loop. A first inlet receives air being psychrometrically controlled in the enclosure from a first source. A first outlet removes the psychrometrically controlled air from the enclosure. A second inlet receives air being non-psychrometrically controlled in the enclosure from a second source. A second outlet removes the non-psychrometrically controlled air from the enclosure. A third energy exchange device positioned in or along the enclosure exchanges energy between the psychrometrically controlled air and the non-psychrometrically controlled air. The enclosure is adapted for insertion through an opening having opposed parallel sides having a dimension of 36 inches or less.

Dependent claims

An air system comprising:

an enclosure;
a compressor, a first energy exchange device, an expansion device, and a second energy exchange device each positioned in or along the enclosure and connected in a closed refrigerant loop;
a first inlet formed in the enclosure for receiving air from a first source, the air received from the first source being psychrometrically controlled in the enclosure;
a first outlet formed in the enclosure for removing the psychrometrically controlled air from the enclosure;
a second inlet formed in the enclosure for receiving air from a second source, the air received from the second source being non-psychrometrically controlled in the enclosure;
a second outlet formed in the enclosure for removing the non-psychrometrically controlled air from the enclosure;
and
a third energy exchange device positioned in or along the enclosure for exchanging energy between the psychrometrically controlled air and the non-psychrometrically controlled air;
wherein the enclosure is adapted for insertion through an opening having opposed parallel sides having a dimension of 36 inches or less.
