Abstract:
A method of cooling moist air having a particular dew point, said method comprising the steps of:forming a heat exchanger having a wall, with an exterior cooling surface, and an interior chamber, said wall having substantial thickness and being formed from a material having substantial low-heat conductivity;circulating refrigerant through said interior chamber, said refrigerant drawing heat from said wall to lower the temperature of said cooling surface to a value that is greater than the temperature of said refrigerant and no lower than or equal to said dew point;placing said exterior cooling surface in contact with said moist air, said moist air having a temperature greater than said dew point; andcooling said moist air, via said exterior cooling surface, such that said moist air cools only to temperatures that exceed said dew point.
