Uses a conventional vapor compression cycle. Ability to recover waste heat for other uses. Eliminate electrical demand charges. Require smaller electric services. Desiccant Dehumidification Systems - are used in facilities such as health clubs, supermarkets and high technology facilities where moisture can become a problem.
Desiccants cool the air by reducing the humidity.
This means that the cooling system does not have to work as hard to cool the air. Improves comfort and allows for better control of conditioned space. Reduces electric demand charges. While the initial cost of a gas cooling system is usually higher than that of a comparably-sized electric system, a gas unit's payback can be attractive. This is because gas is usually less expensive in the summer and companies can avoid high electric demand charges.
