Thermoelectrically powered indirect evaporative cooling system with desiccant dehumidification

摘要

Disclosed is a system for cooling using indirect evaporative cooling, dehumidification using desiccant, and a thermoelectrically powered heat exchanger. The thermoelectric heat exchanger pulls heat from the working air exiting the indirect evaporative cooler and injects that heat energy into ambient air that is then forced through a portion of the rotating desiccant wheel to regenerate the desiccant by removing water molecules from the desiccant material. Liquid water that is condensed by cooling the working air with the thermoelectric heat exchanger is saved and provided to the indirect evaporative cooler for use to cool via evaporation.
