Abstract:
1. A system for drying and tempering flowing air, comprising: a) a first heat exchanger for precooling and subsequently reheating said flowing air; b) a second heat exchanger for chilling said flowing air below the incoming dew point thereof to remove moisture therefrom; c) a moisture removal section disposed between said first and second heat exchangers for removing entrained moisture from said air and for thermally separating said first and second heat exchangers; and d) means for providing refrigerant to said second heat exchanger wherein said means for providing refrigerant comprises: i) a flashing distributor attached to said second heat exchanger for providing refrigerant to a second side of said second heat exchanger; and ii) a collector attached to said second heat exchanger for collecting spent refrigerant from said second side of said second heat exchanger.
