Latest Patents

LaRosa is named on 1 patent: “Rotary Bed Dehumidification System and Method with Control of Condensation in Recirculating Loop.” The invention describes a rotary sorption bed containing regenerable sorbent material. As the bed rotates, portions of the sorbent pass through four zones: a process-fluid zone, two zones served by a recycled-fluid loop, and a regeneration-fluid zone.

The recycled fluid circulates through the second and fourth zones in a closed loop that operates independently of the process and regeneration streams. The system monitors at least one recycled-fluid parameter, such as dry-bulb temperature or dew point, and uses that measurement to control the stream. The recycled fluid may circulate through purge, isolation, or purge-and-regeneration loops.
