Moisture content control system

A method of controlling moisture content in ambient airflow in a substantially enclosed structure with at least one humidity control apparatus, said method comprising:

• detecting moisture content in airflow at a plurality of locations in the substantially enclosed area with a plurality of humidity sensors, wherein the plurality of humidity sensors are located remotely from the at least one humidity control apparatus, and wherein the plurality of sensors are situated in relatively close proximity to the components that the at least one humidity control apparatus is configured to affect;
• receiving data pertaining to the moisture content detected at the plurality of locations;
• and
• operating the at least one humidity control apparatus to vary the moisture content of airflow supplied to the one or more of the plurality of locations.

A method of controlling moisture content in ambient airflow with at least two air conditioning units operable to vary conditions in a same zone of a substantially enclosed structure, each of said air conditioning units having a respective humidity control apparatus, said method comprising:

• operating a first air conditioning unit to supply airflow;
• operating the humidity control apparatus of the first air conditioning unit to not operate under cross purposes as the first air conditioning unit;
• operating a second air conditioning unit to supply airflow;
• and
• operating the humidity control apparatus of the second air conditioning unit to operate under cross purposes as the first air conditioning unit.

A computer readable storage medium on which is embedded one or more computer programs, said one or more computer programs implementing a method of controlling moisture content in ambient airflow in a substantially enclosed structure with at least one humidity control apparatus, said one or more computer programs comprising a set of instructions for:

• receiving data pertaining to moisture content detected at a plurality of locations in the substantially enclosed area with a plurality of humidity sensors, wherein the plurality of humidity sensors are located remotely from the at least one humidity control apparatus, and wherein the plurality of sensors are situated in relatively close proximity to the components that the at least one humidity control apparatus is configured to affect;
• determining whether the moisture content at one or more of the plurality of locations is within a predefined range;
• and
• operating the at least one humidity control apparatus to vary the moisture is content of airflow supplied to the one or more of the plurality of locations in response to the moisture content being outside of a predefined range.
