Abstract: Un milieu d'échange de chaleur sensible et latente (10) possède une matrice (12) perméable aux gaz. Cette dernière présente des passages (14) par lesquels un courant d'air peut s'écouler à travers le milieu d'échange de chaleur sensible et latente (10). La matrice (12) est formée d'un matériau d'échange de chaleur sensible (16) pouvant absorber la chaleur sensible contenue dans un courant d'air chaud et rejeter la chaleur sensible absorbée dans un courant d'air froid à mesure que les courants d'air s'écoulent à travers le milieu d'échange de chaleur sensible et latente (10). Une couche d'une composition de revêtement (28) d'un tamis moléculaire est appliquée à au moins une partie de la surface du matériau d'échange de chaleur sensible (16). Ce tamis moléculaire possède une pluralité de pores de dimensions sensiblement uniformes de sorte que le tamis peut adsorber l'humidité contenue dans un courant d'air humide s'écoulant à travers le milieu d'échange de chaleur sensible et latente (10), et peut rejeter l'humidité adsorbée dans un courant d'air sec s'écoulant à travers le milieu d'échange de chaleur sensible et latente (10), mais ne peut pas adsorber des substances contaminantes contenues dans l'un ou l'autre des courants d'air. Le milieu d'échange de chaleur sensible et latente (10) est extrêmement efficace pour transférer de la chaleur sensible et de la chaleur latente entre des courants d'air.
