Abstract

An energy exchange system is configured to provide dry supply air to an enclosed structure. The system may include an energy transfer device having a first portion configured to be disposed within a supply air flow path and a second portion configured to be disposed within a regeneration air flow path. The energy transfer device is configured to decrease a humidity level of supply air. The energy transfer device is configured to be regenerated with regeneration air. The system may also include a first heat exchanger configured to be disposed within the supply air flow path downstream from the energy transfer device and within the regeneration air flow path upstream from the second portion of the energy transfer device. The first heat exchanger is configured to transfer sensible energy between the supply air and the regeneration air. The supply air is configured to be supplied to the enclosed structure after passing through the energy transfer device and the first heat exchanger.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a system and method for providing conditioned air to an enclosed structure, and more particularly, relate to an energy exchange system and method configured to provide conditioned air to a commodities storage structure, such as a grain silo or bin, for example.

[0002] Enclosed structures, such as occupied buildings, factories, and animal barns, typically include a heating / ventilation / air conditioning (HVAC) system that is configured to condition ventilated and / or recirculated air in the structure. The HVAC system includes a supply path and a return and / or exhaust path. The supply path receives air, for example outside or ambient air, re-circulated air, or outside or ambient air mixed with re-circulated air, and channels and distributes the air into the enclosed structure. The air is conditioned by the HVAC system to provide a desired temperature and humidity of supply air discharged into the en...
