Benefits of technology

[0014]The present invention is distinguished over the prior art in general by a thermodynamic closed loop desiccant rotor system and process which utilizes at least one closed recirculation loop that provides interchangeable energy directly to the desiccant material and utilized in various alternate rotor isolated zoning configurations, in combination with various arrangements of energy exchange devices and refrigeration components to maximize the interchangeable and recovered energy capability and capacity through both closed thermodynamic cycles and open cycle processes for significantly improved efficiency and energy conservation.

Problems solved by technology

Typically, a great part of the energy added to condition the air is wasted and results in high energy consumption.
