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 18):
A method of conditioning a fluid using a system having a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber, the method comprising:\n flowing a first portion of a first fluid through the first chamber, the first portion of the first fluid interacting with a first portion of a desiccant and transferring water between the first portion of the first fluid and the first portion of the desiccant; flowing a second portion of a first fluid through the second chamber, the second portion of the first fluid bypassing the first chamber; flowing a second fluid through the third chamber, the second fluid interacting with a second portion of the desiccant and transferring water between the second fluid and the second portion of the desiccant; combining the first and second portions of the first fluid after the first portion of the first fluid exits the first chamber and the second portion of the first fluid exits the second chamber; exchanging heat between a medium and the first portion of the desiccant using a first heat exchanger; and exchanging heat between the medium and the second portion of the first fluid using a second heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger and the first heat exchanger being arranged in a cooling loop containing the medium, the medium flowing through both heat exchangers.
