  • Patent number: 8899055
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for cooling and dehumidifying air in a room. The system includes a processing unit structured and arranged to process a coolant to achieve a cooling that exceeds cold due to evaporation, wherein the coolant cools and dehumidifies air coming into contact with the coolant. The system also comprises a distribution unit arranged to expose the coolant to the air and a collecting unit structured to feed the coolant that has come into contact with the air into the processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20080229765
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cooling and dehumidifying air of a room, comprising a processing unit (7) that is embodied to process the coolant such that it is suitable for dehumidifying and/or cooling the air upon contact therewith, wherein cooling exceeding the cold due to evaporation can be achieved, a distribution unit (3), which is suitable for causing the coolant to flow past the air with direct contact, a collecting unit (5), which is suitable for feeding coolant that has flowed past the air back to the processing unit (7). The invention further relates to an associated method.

  • Patent number: 7108227
    Abstract: An insulation package to reduce the transmission of heat and/or noise between the outer skin and the cabin lining of an aircraft composed of an insulating material enclosed by an encapsulating membrane. The encapsulating material has a vapor diffusion resistance (sd value) at least partially dependent on the ambient humidity, and for a gradient of relative humidity across the encapsulating membrane of 3% to 50% it has a vapor diffusion resistance (sd value) of at least 0.8 m and for a gradient of relative humidity across the encapsulating membrane of 50% to 93% it has a maximum vapor diffusion resistance (sd value) of 0.3 m.
