Abstract
A heat recovery, dehumidifier and cooling system for ventilating fresh air to a conditioned space. The system is comprised of an enthalpy wheel or body for treating incoming fresh air to remove heat and moisture therefrom and means such as a duct for introducing fresh air to a first segment of the enthalpy wheel or body. A heat exchanger is provided in communication with the enthalpy wheel or body to receive pre-conditioned air having heat and moisture removed therefrom, the heat exchanger further lowering the temperature of the pre-conditioned air. A refrigerated surface is provided in a first communication with the heat exchanger to receive pre-conditioned air exiting from the sensible heat exchanger, the refrigerated surface further treating the pre-conditioned air to provide refrigerated air leaving the refrigerated surface having both lowered temperature and humidity. The refrigerated surface is provided in second communication with the heat exchanger to permit the refrigerated air leaving the refrigerator surface to be in heat exchange relationship with the pre-conditioned air from the enthalpy wheel or body as the pre-conditioned air passes through the sensible heat exchanger, the pre-conditioned air warming the refrigerated air as the conditioned air passes through the sensible heat exchanger to provide conditioned air.
