Abstract
A transport refrigeration system having a dehumidifying mode. During the dehumidifying mode, a main or primary condenser is effectively removed from the active refrigerant circuit and an auxiliary or secondary condenser located in a conditioned air flow path performs the condensing function. This arrangement enables an evaporator in the air flow path to continue to cool and remove moisture from the conditioned air after a predetermined set point temperature has been reached, without a significant reduction in temperature of the conditioned air returned to a served space, as heat removed from the conditioned air by the evaporator is returned to the conditioned air by the secondary condenser.
