Abstract: A cooling and dehumidification system including at least one passive heat transfer device with desiccant coated on some extent of the exposed surface, another passive heat transfer device without desiccant coating, a compressor through which refrigerant flows, an expansion device, a refrigerant control valve, and valves to direct airflow in relation to the passive heat transfer devices.

Abstract: A cooling and dehumidification system, including a rotary desiccant assembly at least partially coated with a desiccant material, the desiccant material configured to rotate, thereby providing for simultaneous loading and unloading of moisture.

Abstract: A system and method for separating humidity control from temperature control and utilizing multiple energy storage sub-systems to reduce overall energy consumption, and more generally to cool and dehumidify ambient air using such a multitude of energy storage mediums, including electricity, water, moisture and thermal storage The system uses a primary cooling sub-system such as a vapor compressor in combination with one or more energy storage sub-systems to store energy during one period of operation for later use during another period of operation based on an algorithm that determines the most cost efficient or energy efficient usage.
