  • Patent number: 10480801
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for providing conditioned air to at least one enclosed structure. The system may include at least one conditioning module configured to provide conditioned air to the at least one enclosed structure. The conditioning module(s) may include a conditioning energy exchanger. The conditioning module(s) is configured to circulate desiccant through a desiccant circuit to condition air passing through the conditioning energy exchanger. The conditioning module(s) may be configured to receive at least one of concentrated desiccant or diluted desiccant in order to vary temperature or concentration of the desiccant circulating through the desiccant circuit.

  • Publication number: 20140235157
    Abstract: An energy exchange system is provided that may include a heater configured to be disposed within a supply air flow path. A first pre-heater is configured to be upstream from the heater within the supply air flow path and configured to pre-heat the supply air with a first liquid that circulates through the first pre-heater. A boiler may be operatively connected to the first pre-heater and configured to heat the first liquid. The system may also include a second pre-heater configured to be upstream from the heater within the supply air flow path. A heat transfer device may be operatively connected to the heater and the second pre-heater. The heat transfer device is configured to receive flue gas from the heater and transfer heat from the flue gas to a second liquid within the heat transfer device.

  • Publication number: 20140083648
    Abstract: A Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) includes a heater configured to be disposed within a supply air flow path, at least one pre-heater configured to be upstream from the heat exchanger within one or both of the supply and exhaust air flow paths, and a heat transfer device operatively connected to the heater and the pre-heater. The heat transfer device is configured to receive flue gas from the heater and transfer heat from the flue gas to liquid within the heat transfer device. The liquid is configured to be channeled to the pre-heater so that heat is transferred from the liquid to supply air within the supply air flow path.
