Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for reducing the moisture content of air in a room prior to cooling by a pipeline in a structural element of the room. The moisture content is reduced by passing the air through a heat exchanger which lowers the temperature to below the condensation point thus condensing the moisture in the air. The condensed moisture is removed and the air is then cooled by ordinary room cooling means.
Claims12
A water circulation type cooling system for regulating the temperature of air in rooms comprising:
- a. a pipeline means included in a structural member such as a floor, ceiling or wall, the pipeline means being supplied with a charge of water;
- and
- b. dehumidifier means in the room for reducing the temperature of the air to condense and remove moisture therefrom, the dehumidifier means comprising a convector coupled to the pipeline means, such that the charge water flows through the convector in series or in parallel with the charge water through the pipeline means, a blower and a collector tray for collecting the condensate from the convector, wherein the dehumidifier and pipeline means are positioned with respect to each other in the room, such that air first passes through the dehumidifier means and then is cooled by the pipeline means, whereby condensation on the structural members is reduced due to the removal of moisture by the dehumidifier means.
