ACT-HP Heat Pipe System Basics
Our ACT-HP-WA HVAC heat pipe system performs two major beneficial functions: Increased levels of dehumidification and reduced energy costs.
Application Example
Step 1. Incoming return or outside 84°F air is pre-cooled to 74°FDB/ 96.8%RH by the pre-cool heat pipe coil.
Step 2. The pre-cooled air flows through the existing AC evaporator cooling coil at 55°FDB / 98%RH. By adding a pre-cool heat pipe coil, the system now functions more efficiently and can perform higher levels of latent cooling and increased dehumidification. Often times a smaller capacity AC system can be chosen due to the increased cooling performance from the pre-cool coil.
Step 3. The air leaving the existing AC evaporator coil is in an over cooled state and requires re-heat. The re-heat heat pipe coil is sized to bring the entering building air to a more comfortable range of 65°FDB / 68.6%RH. ASHRAE standards describe many instances for the requirement of humidity control. Since the building air now has low levels of humidity and more comfort, thermostat temperatures can be set higher, saving even more energy.
The addition of the ACT-HP-WA Wrap-Around System can effectively increase the dehumidification performance of any HVAC system. In addition, there can be thousands of dollars saved on electricity or gas required for reheating the over cooled air.
