Herein is detailed a 3-rotor drying system (30,40,50) for producing technical air having a very low dew point comprising three rotary desiccant dryers (2,21,22), each rotary desiccant dryer (2,21,22) comprising a drying sector (2a,21a,22a) and a regeneration sector (2b,21b,22b), the rotary desiccant dryers (2a,21a) arranged in sequence and sharing a common regeneration-air flow path (9) for passing regeneration-air through the respective regeneration sectors (2a,21b,22b) of the rotary desiccant dryers (2,21,22) and a common intake-air flow path (6,7) for passing intake-air through the respective drying sectors (2a,21a,22a) of the rotary desiccant dryers (2,21,22) for dehumidifying the intake-air to product-air having a very low dew point.

Methods and systems for controlling temperature and humidity within a space in a building. Outdoor air and return air from the space are passed through particular equipment in a particular order. Equipment includes a secondary direct-expansion refrigeration circuit, a recovery wheel, a primary cooling coil or direct-expansion refrigeration circuit, secondary circuit coils, and a dehumidification wheel. Various embodiments include modulating the secondary circuit compressor to adjust reheat capacity at the secondary circuit condenser coil, a geothermal direct-expansion refrigeration circuit, a variable refrigerant flow subsystem, fan coil units, multiple zones, a dedicated outdoor air supply subsystem, an evaporative cooler, supplemental outdoor air, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, supply air passes first through the recovery wheel, then through the primary cooling coil, then through the dehumidification wheel, and then to the space. Further, in some embodiments, exhaust air passes through the dehumidification wheel, and then through the recovery wheel.

An apparatus to evaporate water from a tank including a plurality of rotating thin discs partially extending into a tank containing the water and causing it to adhere to the discs. Air is caused to flow through the discs causing the water adhered to the discs to evaporate and when the discs rotate back into the tank cool the water. The apparatus can also remove water from a desiccant solution whereby when air is caused to flow through the discs above the solution it causes the water in the desiccant solution to evaporate reducing the water content of the solution.

Systems and methods for providing dehumidification to an enclosed space can include a dehumidification unit in a supply air plenum that receives return air and a regeneration unit in a scavenger air plenum that receives outdoor air. The system can operate in a wet mode and a dry mode, depending on outdoor air conditions and a relative humidity setpoint for the enclosed space. The dehumidification unit and regeneration unit are both operational in the wet mode to dehumidify the return air and regenerate dilute desiccant. In the dry mode, the dehumidification unit and regeneration unit are not needed, and dry outdoor air can be supplied to the enclosed space. A heat recovery system utilizes waste heat from either return air or scavenger air, depending on the operating mode, to heat the outdoor air before it is supplied to the enclosed space or before it is used for regenerating desiccant.

The present disclosure provides that the air conditioning system includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator through which a refrigerant circulates; an indoor unit in which the evaporator is disposed; an outdoor unit; and a dehumidification unit connected to the indoor unit, in which the dehumidification unit includes a regeneration channel including a first outdoor air inlet and an outdoor outlet, a dehumidification channel including an indoor air inlet or a second outdoor air inlet and an indoor supply, a dehumidification rotor disposed between the regeneration channel and the dehumidification channel, and a heat exchange unit disposed between the dehumidification rotor and the first outdoor air inlet in the regeneration channel to heat passing air, and the indoor unit is configured such that the air supplied from the indoor supply unit passes through the evaporator and then is supplied to a room.
