A housing rotatably supports a desiccant wheel, Ambient air passes through one part of the housing and hot exhaust air passes through the other part. As the wheel rotates, it absorbs moisture from the ambient air in part of the housing and desorbs moisture into the exhaust air in the other part. A fuel cell system supplies the hot exhaust air directly to the desiccant wheel, The dry ambient air is directed to an evaporative cooler and divided between dry channels and wet channels, The air passing through the dry channels cools to be directed to a conditioned space. The air passing through the wet channels evaporates water in the channels facilitating heat transfer and adding moisture to that air. The air from the wet channels is optionally added back into the air from the dry channels to provide appropriate humidity.
