  • Publication number: 20240318853
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to control systems for heating ventilation and cooling systems. In some examples, a controller for a heating ventilation and cooling system receives, from a first temperature sensor, a first temperature of a first air flow entering a conditioner system. The controller also receives, from a first humidity sensor, a first dew point of the first air flow, and also receives, from a thermostat, a desired temperature for a conditioned space. The controller generates adjustment data characterizing an adjustment to at least one of: (1) an exhaust air flow, (2) a desiccant flow rate, (3) a water flow rate, (4) a total air flow rate, and (5) a liquid desiccant concentration of the conditioner system based on at least one of the first temperature, the first dew point, and the desired temperature. The controller transmits the adjustment data to the conditioner system to cause the adjustment.

The assembly also includes a plurality of fins disposed between the first plate and the second plate. In addition, the plurality of fins are spaced apart by a width large enough adapted for counter-flow of a plurality of fluids between adjacent fins of the plurality of fins. Further, the plurality of fins are configured to direct fluid flow across a length of the first plate and the second plate.
