Abstract
A hybrid air-conditioning system for controlling the condition of air in a building-enclosed space includes a first fan for passing process air from an ambient space through a first pre-cool evaporator coil, through a first zone of a rotatable moisture transfer wheel and then through a first zone of a rotatable heat exchange wheel to an enclosed and conditioned space. A second fan passes regenerative air from the enclosed and conditioned space through a second zone of the heat exchange wheel, through a first condenser coil, through a second zone of the moisture transfer wheel and then to the ambient space. The system further includes first and second compressors. The first compressor is in fluid communication with the first pre-cool evaporator coil and with the first condenser coil. The second compressor has a suction side in fluid communication with a second pre-cool evaporator coil and with a second condenser coil. The second condenser coil has first and second coil sections, with the first coil section of the second condenser coil positioned between the first condenser coil and the second zone of the moisture transfer wheel and the second coil section of the second condenser coil positioned between the second zone of the moisture transfer wheel and the ambient space.
