Two-wheel desiccant dehumidification: Will it be cost effective for your job?
Desiccant dehumidification technology provides a method of drying air before it enters a conditioned space. When combined with conventional cooling systems, desiccant dehumidification systems are a cost-effective means of supplying cool, dry, filtered air.
This Federal Technology Alert discusses how to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of hybrid, two-wheel, desiccant-based cooling systems (TWDS), summarizes the desiccant dehumidification process, reviews field applications, and examines energy savings and other benefits.
