Abstract
A system for conditioning a gas. The system includes a compressor for compressing and heating the gas into a hot gas; an airflow device generating an airflow; and a heat exchanger receiving in a first flow path the hot gas and in a second flow path the airflow. Heat is transferred from the hot gas to the airflow to generate a cool gas and hot airflow, and moisture condenses within the cool gas. A moisture separator separates condensed moisture from the cool gas to generate a saturated gas. A reheater receives in one flow path the saturated gas from the moisture separator and in another flow path the hot airflow from the heat exchanger. Heat is transferred in the reheater from the hot airflow to the saturated gas to generate a superheated gas having a temperature above the saturation temperature of the gas.
