Condenser apparatus and method for removing water from air

Abstract

A condenser apparatus and a method of removing water from air. The condenser apparatus includes: (a) a housing for directing air flow within the housing, and having an air inlet and an air outlet; (b) a cross flow heat exchanger having a first air inlet, a first air outlet, a second air inlet, and a second air outlet; (c) an airflow driver for driving airflow through at least a portion of the housing; (d) a water condenser having an air inlet for receiving air flowing from the first air outlet of the cross flow heat exchanger, an air outlet for providing air to the second air inlet of the cross flow heat exchanger, a fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet, wherein heat is transferred from air flowing into the air inlet to fluid flowing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet; and (e) a condensate collector for collecting water condensate from the air flowing into the air inlet of the water condenser.
