Abstract
Apparatus for conditioning air comprising: a quantity of liquid desiccant (28); a dehumidifier section (12) in which air to be conditioned is brought into contact with a first portion of the liquid desiccant; a regenerator section (32) in which outside air is brought into contact with a second portion of the liquid desiccant; and a refrigeration system (45) having a first heat exchanger (46) associated with the first portion of liquid desiccant and a second heat exchanger (36) associated with the second portion of liquid desiccant and a third heat exchanger (136) that does not contact the liquid desiccant.
Claims28
Apparatus for conditioning air, comprising:
- a quantity of liquid desiccant;
- a first air-desiccant contact volume in which air to be conditioned is brought into contact with a first portion of the liquid desiccant;
- a second air-desiccant contact volume in which outside air is brought into contact with a second portion of the liquid desiccant;
- and
- a refrigeration system comprising:
- a first heat exchanger associated with the first portion of liquid desiccant;
- a second heat exchanger associated with the second portion of liquid desiccant;
- a third heat exchanger situated for heat exchange with said conditioned air after it leaves the first air-desiccant contact volume;
- and
- refrigerant conduits connecting elements of said refrigeration system.
Apparatus for conditioning air, wherein said conditioned air is heated and dehumidified, comprising:
- a quantity of liquid desiccant;
- a first air-desiccant contact volume in which air to be conditioned is brought into contact with a first portion of the liquid desiccant;
- a second air-desiccant contact volume in which outside air is brought into contact with a second portion of the liquid desiccant;
- and
- a refrigeration system comprising:
- a first heat exchanger associated with the first portion of liquid desiccant;
- a second heat exchanger associated with the second portion of liquid desiccant;
- a third heat exchanger situated for heat exchange with said conditioned air after it leaves the first air-desiccant contact volume;
- and
- refrigerant conduits connecting elements of said refrigeration system;
- wherein said conditioned air is heated by said third heat exchanger and is dehumidified by said first air-desiccant volume.
