Heat Pipe Technology
|
An increasingly common technical strategy used in the commercial and industrial sectors to provide enhanced dehumidification is an air-to-air heat exchanger wrapped around a cooling coil. The cooling coil may be DX, chilled water, or brine. Because it's exposed to a higher dry bulb temperature, the upstream heat exchanger will absorb BTU's off the downstream heat exchanger into the lower ...

Heat Pipe Technology

With today’s higher ventilation requirements and more efecient buildings, moisture becomes a higher percentage of the total load that a mixed air handling unit must handle. What happens? Both the supply air dry bulb temperature and sup- ply air dewpoint rise, reducing the supply air’s sensible cooling capacity and resulting in a higher indoor relative humidity. Plus, cooling must be provided at ...

Heat Pipe Technology

Wrap around heat pipes are air-to-air heat exchangers that are installed in the airstream upstream and downstream of a cooling coil to deliberately reduce the Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) below a standard air conditioning system’s .75. Depend- ing on the application, they’re also used to replace all or part of the necessary reheat in a system to minimize energy usage. The energy ramications are ...

In 2009, executives expect to make fewer, shorter and cheaper trips, and switch from luxury extras in favour of basic efficiency and good service. This is according to a global survey of business travellers commissioned by Amadeus from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
47% of executives surveyed said they will be taking fewer trips in the next twelve months, and over a quarter (28%) expect to ...
