OSTI ID:5282590
This patent describes an apparatus for dehumidifying air comprising, in combination, first and second dehumidifiers, both of which employ a desiccant, means for passing air to be dehumidified through the first dehumidifier and then through the second dehumidifier, whereby moisture is removed by the desiccants and the air is dehumidified, and from the second dehumidifier to a space to be conditioned. A first regenerator for the desiccant of the second dehumidifier, means for passing air to and through each of the regenerators in contact with the desiccant therein and then from the regenerators, means for transferring heat of sorption from the first and second dehumidifiers, means for moving moisture laden desiccant from the first dehumidifier to the first regenerator, means for moving moisture laden desiccant from the second dehumidifier to the second regenerator, and means for transferring heat to the regenerators, the last-named means including means for transferring heat of sorption from the first dehumidifier to the first regenerator, whereby absorbed moisture is rejected from the regenerators are included.
