Patent ID: 7726140

Claim:
A method of providing humidity control to air for an interior space, the method comprising the steps of: providing a first refrigerant circuit having a first compressor, a first condenser and a first evaporator; providing a second refrigerant circuit having a second compressor, a second condenser and a second evaporator; providing a hot gas re-heat circuit including the first compressor and the first evaporator, the hot gas re-heat circuit further including a re-heat coil positioned adjacent to the first evaporator, and the hot gas re-heat circuit being configured, when enabled, to disable the first refrigerant circuit by bypassing flow of refrigerant to the first condenser and to permit refrigerant to flow from the first compressor through the re-heat coil to the first evaporator; enabling the first refrigerant circuit and the second refrigerant circuit in response to receiving only a demand for humidity control at a control panel; and enabling the hot gas re-heat circuit in response to receiving only a demand for humidity control at the control panel.
