Contact SupplierHeat Pipes For DehumidificationRegional climates suffer from high humidity combined with high temperatures. This often results in air conditioning units supplying humid air or excessive energy being expended on traditional methods of overcooling and reheating. Wrap-around, dehumidifier heat pipe systems are fitted around the main cooling coil in the primary air handling unit, simultaneously reducing the load on the cooling coil and the need for reheat further downstream. This process provides an improvement in air quality resulting from the additional rate of moisture removal and the capacity to treat higher rates of outside air. It also reduces the energy burden at no additional cost; a heat pipe is a completely passive device and is driven only by the temperature difference imposed by the cooling coil.
By using a wrap-around heat pipe in the primary air handling unit operating costs can be reduced by up to 30%. At the same time, the overall capital expenditure is unlikely to change as the cost of the heat pipe is offset by the reduced capital expenditure on the lower capacity cooling system and the reduction in reheat equipment. Not only will the energy requirement of the HVAC equipment be reduced, but the indoor air quality will be significantly improved and lead to happier, healthier working and living spaces.
