Abstract
Apparatus for conditioning the air of a supermarket and for removing heat from refrigerated display cases therein is disclosed. The apparatus includes first and second refrigeration apparatus, a chemical dehumidifier which uses a desiccant, a regenerator for the dehumidifier, means for transferring heat to the regenerator to enable regeneration of the desiccant of said dehumidifier, and means for causing air of flow in dehumidifying relationship with the dehumidifier and then into the space. The apparatus is operable to maintain the temperature of the case below that of the supermarket and to deliver dehumidified air to the supermarket to maintain a humidity ratio therein below about 50 grains of moisture per pound of dry air. The first refrigeration apparatus has a heat rejecting section, a compressor, and a heat absorbing section which is operable to transfer heat from the refrigerated case. The second refrigeration apparatus has a heat absorbing section and a heat rejecting section, and is operable to transfer heat from the condenser of the first refrigeration apparatus to the heat absorbing section of the second refrigeration apparatus.
