- Abstract
- Dehumidification, or removal of moisture by adsorption, is a physical process, and not a chemical action. It is accomplished by gas equipment designed specifically for the purpose. Cooling, or the reduction of temperature, is a heat-exchange process requiring indirect surface coolers, through the tubes of which water or other refrigerants at relatively high temperature are passed by equipment selected specifically for the purpose. This independent control of humidity and temperature by distinctly separate pieces of equipment assures the maximum of flexibility and simplicity of control, and affords a practically limitless selection of conditions for satisfying individual ideas of comfort. Some of the more important economies and mechanical advantages are: (a) the two separate and distinct operations are accomplished at comparatively high temperature levels, with corresponding economies; (b) the form of energy is used that is best and cheapest for each particular purpose; (c) low maintenance and depreciation results, due to the absence of reciprocating machinery in the dehumidifier, the durability of silica gel, and the reduction of the time of operation for each of the two primary components of the system—dehumidifying only or cooling only, or any combination, under automatic control to meet any and every need.
