Abstract:
A system for controlling the temperature and humidity level of a controlled space, the system comprising:a) an air supplier adapted to supply air to the controlled space, creating a supply air steam;b) an air exhauster adapted to exhaust air out of the controlled space, creating an exhaust air stream adjacent to the supply air stream;c) a partition disposed between the supply and exhaust air streams that separates the supply and exhaust air streams;d) a total energy recovery device in contact with the supply air stream and exhaust air stream that exchanges heat and moisture between the supply and exhaust air streams;e) a dehumidification wheel positioned to rotate through the supply air stream and the exhaust air stream that exchanges heat and moisture between the supply and exhaust air streams; andf) a cooler disposed in the supply air stream between the total energy recovery device and the dehumidification wheel, the cooler adapted to cool and dehumidify the supply air stream.
