Abstract
Apparatus for conditioning the air in an enclosure utilizes a primary direct contact air/brine heat exchanger in which enclosure air is contacted with brine from a reservoir for condensing water vapor in the enclosure air onto the brine to form dilute brine. A brine concentrator is provided in the form of a secondary direct contact air/brine heat exchanger in which segregated air, separate from enclosure air, is contacted with heated dilute brine from the reservoir for evaporating water from the heated dilute brine into the segregated air to form concentrated brine. The secondary heat exchanger operates to heat the brine while it is being contacted with the segregated air.
