Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for conditioning air has a quantity of liquid desiccant. A first portion of a first airflow is received in a first contact volume such that it contacts a first portion of the liquid desiccant. A second contact volume is in parallel with the first contact volume and receives a second portion of the first airflow. At least a portion of a second airflow is brought into contact with a second portion of the liquid desiccant in a third contact volume. A first heat exchanger is associated with the first portion of the liquid desiccant and configured to transfer heat between the first portion of the liquid desiccant and a first medium. A second heat exchanger is associated with the second portion of the liquid desiccant and configured to transfer heat between the second portion of the liquid desiccant and a second medium.

Claim (Index 1):
Apparatus for conditioning air comprising:\n a quantity of liquid desiccant; a first contact volume in which a first portion of a first airflow is received such that it contacts a first portion of the liquid desiccant; a second contact volume in parallel with the first contact volume in which a second portion of the first airflow is received; a third contact volume in which at least a portion of a second airflow is received such that it contacts a second portion of the liquid desiccant; a first heat exchanger associated with the first portion of the liquid desiccant and configured to transfer heat between the first portion of the liquid desiccant and a first medium; and a second heat exchanger associated with the second contact volume and configured to transfer heat between the second portion of the first airflow and the first medium, the second heat exchanger and the first heat exchanger being arranged in a cooling loop containing the first medium.
