Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for cooling and dehumidifying air in a room. The system includes a processing unit structured and arranged to process a coolant to achieve a cooling that exceeds cold due to evaporation, wherein the coolant cools and dehumidifies air coming into contact with the coolant. The system also comprises a distribution unit arranged to expose the coolant to the air and a collecting unit structured to feed the coolant that has come into contact with the air into the processing unit.
Claims17
A device for cooling and dehumidifying air in a room and/or specified area for people, comprising:
- a processing unit structured and arranged to process a coolant to achieve a cooling that exceeds cold due to evaporation, wherein the coolant cools and dehumidifies air coming into contact with the coolant without aid of an air circulating device;
- a distribution unit arranged to guide the coolant in a manner open to the room and/or specified area for people so as to expose the coolant to the air while the air is in the room and/or specified area;
- and
- a collecting unit structured to feed the coolant that has come into contact with the air into the processing unit.
A method for cooling and dehumidifying air in a room for people, comprising:
- processing a coolant to achieve a cooling that exceeds cold due to evaporation to cool and dehumidify air coming into contact with the coolant without aid of an air circulating device;
- guiding the coolant to be open to the room so as to directly contact the air while the air is in the room;
- and
- collecting the coolant that that has come into contact with the air.
A device for cooling and dehumidifying air in a room and/or specified area for people, comprising:
- a processing unit structured and arranged to process a coolant to achieve a cooling that exceeds cold due to evaporation, wherein the coolant cools and dehumidifies air coming into contact with the coolant without aid of an air circulating device;
- a distribution unit arranged to guide the coolant to flow as a thin liquid film over one of a wall or room unit in a manner open to the room and/or specified area for people so as to expose the coolant to the air while the air is in the room and/or specified area;
- and a collecting unit structured to feed the coolant that has come into contact with the air into the processing unit.
