Abstract:
A control device for controlling a climate control system of an enclosed space, the climate control system having a fan and a compressor, the control device comprising:a humidity sensor capable of perceiving the humidity in the enclosed space and providing a signal corresponding to the perceived humidity;a temperature sensor capable of perceiving the temperature in the enclosed space and providing a signal corresponding to the perceived temperature;a microprocessor operatively connected to receive the signals from the humidity sensor and the temperature sensor for comparing the perceived temperature and humidity to a predetermined temperature and a predetermined humidity setting, and for sending separate enabling signals to the fan and the compressor;the microprocessor operative in a first operational mode to send a separate signal to the fan and to the compressor enabling the fan and compressor to operate at full capacity, andthe microprocessor operative in a second operational mode to send a signal enabling the compressor to operate at full capacity and to send a separate signal enabling the fan to operate at less than full capacity.
