Cost Effective Dehumidification: Dinh™ Dehumidifier Heat Pipes

Passive humidity reduction with no moving parts, pumps or additional energy input of any kind. Using the proven Dinh® Dehumidifier Heat Pipe™ Principle, the DHP typically precools incoming air by 8 to 13° F instantly, allowing the cooling coil to meet the dewpoint faster and with greater efficiency. Condensate removal by the cooling coil is greatly enhanced, often doubled by the heat pipes.

One of the most valuable aspects of heat pipe dehumidification is the fact the process of reheat uses the same heat extracted in the precool section of the heat pipe. Because heat is not added to the conditioned space, it does not have to be removed by the cooling system, as with all active reheat methods such as electric strip reheat or hot gas loops.

 



The DHP-Us are completely fabricated at the HPT factory and can be installed around a cooling coil without assistance by HPT technicians. They can be slid into place horizontally or lifted into place from above.

Energy Recovery Heat Pipes

Passive Operation

No energy input is required to operate the Heat Pipes. When two air streams pass through the Heat Pipes, (one air stream at one end, and another air stream at the other end), the temperature difference between the two air streams activates the Heat Pipes and causes them to exchange heat by “Heat Pipe action”. Heat Pipe action is a much more powerful heat transfer mechanism than convection flow. Heat Pipe action utilizes the heat capacity available when the working fluid changes phases, from a liquid to a vapor and back again.

 

 
Isolated Air Streams

Dividing plates to separate the two air streams are an integral part of Heat Pipe Technology Heat Recovery Heat Pipes. The copper tubes carrying the Heat Pipe working fluid are expanded into the mating holes in the dividing plates, assuring an excellent seal to prevent cross contamination.

Other configurations are also possible as shown here and are outlined in our supplier’s website at:

Energy Management

tekWorx is a single source for system-level mechanical design support and PLC based adaptive control systems that optimize central plant efficiency. We work with any mechanical equipment, any system layout, and we can integrate our industrial grade systems with virtually any building automation system (BAS.)


Our clients usually are owners, ESCOs, facility managers and performance contractors who want to reduce operating cost. As a result of employing tekWorx' unique combination of mechanical design support and control implementation, our clients routinely lower unit cooling / heating costs at least 20% as compared to traditional "make-it-work" systems.

A closer look at tekWorx' distribution pump control illustrates how adaptive control saves money. Using design parameters (flow, head, friction loss), tekWorx generates a Pump kW Consumption Analysis for each system, similar to the example shown to the right.)

The curves illustrate the point above which the kW required to operate one pump is actually more than that required for two pumps to deliver the same flow. The corresponding kW value is loaded in the control program and used to sequence ON / OFF the lag pump in the initial operation.

The adaptive control algorithm then analyzes the actual system behavior during each sequence operation, and makes an online adjustment to the sequence point for the following operation. The result is that the optimized setpoint is continuously used, thus dramatically reducing pump energy consumption.

FAFCO Energy Storage




Welcome to the next ice age - the age of controlling commercial cooling costs. IceStor integrates with new or existing AC systems to generate immediate cost savings and long-term protection against rising energy costs.

Dramatically reduce energy costs with IceStor, the most advanced cool storage system ever designed. IceStor static glycol tanks produce and store ice at night, when energy costs are lowest, and discharge cooling during the high on-peak rate period.



By shifting this portion of the air conditioning electric load to off-peak hours, IceStor reduces demand charges and lowers peak power usage.

The FAFCO system also makes the building more comfortable. The technology allows project engineers to achieve colder chilled water supply temperatures, and thus, better humidity control.
