Abstract:
1. A system for conditioning water-bearing inlet air for supply as conditioned air comprising; an inlet for taking inlet air from an air supply; a first heat exchanger for cooling the inlet air; a compressor for compressing the inlet air; a second heat exchanger for further cooling the inlet air; a condenser for still further cooling the inlet air and for extracting moisture from said inlet air; a first turbine expanding and cooling the inlet air which is then heated in said condenser; a third heat exchanger for heating said inlet air with waste heat from a heat load; a second turbine expanding said inlet air for use as said conditioned air to a space; and an economy valve for bypassing said condenser, said first turbine and said third heat exchanger and for supplying said inlet air directly to said second turbine.
