Abstract: A three-way heat exchanger operable to transfer heat between a heat transfer fluid, a liquid desiccant, and air. The three-way heat exchanger includes an airflow inlet, an airflow outlet, and panel assemblies arranged with airflow gaps defined between adjacent panel assemblies to allow the air to flow between the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet in an airflow direction. Each panel assembly includes a frame defining a heat transfer fluid channel for channeling a flow of the heat transfer fluid through the panel assembly and a membrane positioned on the frame and defining a desiccant channel for a flow of the liquid desiccant. The frame has a leading edge proximate the airflow inlet and a trailing edge proximate the airflow outlet. The leading edges of the frames of the panel assemblies each include a leading edge aerodynamic feature.

An example method includes positioning a frame on a work platform, the frame having two header sections and a middle section, the middle section defining a heat transfer fluid area and each header section defining a frame alignment feature; positioning a heat exchange sheet on the frame across the middle section and each header section, the heat exchange sheet having two sheet alignment features each corresponding to one of the frame alignment features; inserting an alignment pin of the work platform into each pair of corresponding frame and sheet alignment features; and welding the heat exchange sheet to the frame.

Abstract: A heat exchanger operable to condition air using a liquid desiccant. The heat exchanger includes an airflow inlet, an airflow outlet, heat exchange structures positioned between the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet, and a mesh screen positioned at the airflow outlet. Each heat exchange structure has a surface for flow of the liquid desiccant. The mesh screen selectively removes entrained liquid desiccant from the air.

Abstract: An air treatment system includes a three-way heat exchanger, a heat transfer fluid loop, and a pre-treatment heat exchanger positioned on the heat transfer fluid loop. The three-way heat exchanger is operable to transfer heat and moisture between air, a liquid desiccant, and a heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer fluid loop circulates the heat transfer fluid between the three-way heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger operable to transfer heat between the heat transfer fluid and a third working fluid. The pre-treatment heat exchanger is positioned on the heat transfer fluid loop between the second heat exchanger and the three-way heat exchanger and is operable to transfer heat between the air and the heat transfer fluid upstream from the three-way heat exchanger.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes panel assemblies arranged with airflow gaps defined between adjacent panel assemblies to allow air to flow in an airflow direction. Each panel assembly includes a frame including two header sections and a middle section, a membrane positioned on the frame, and two airflow restrictor members positioned at each header section of the frame. For each header section, a first airflow restrictor member is on a first face of the frame and a second airflow restrictor member is on a second face of the frame. For each pair of adjacent panel assemblies, the middle sections are spaced apart to define the airflow gap, and the first airflow restrictor members of a first panel assembly engage the second airflow restrictor members of a second panel assembly to form two airflow restrictors at opposite ends of the airflow gap relative to a direction other than the airflow direction.

Abstract: An HVAC system includes a refrigerant sub-system and an air treatment sub-system. The air treatment sub-system includes a three-way heat exchanger. The HVAC system is operable to circulate heat transfer fluid between the heat exchanger and the refrigerant sub-system. The heat exchanger includes panel assemblies, heat transfer fluid inlet and outlet manifolds, and a heat transfer fluid inlet and outlet. Each panel assembly includes a heat transfer fluid channel and a desiccant channel separated from the heat transfer fluid channel. The inlet and outlet manifolds are connected to the heat transfer fluid channel of each panel assembly, and each extend between lateral sides of the heat exchanger. The inlet manifold is closed at a first lateral side and connected to the inlet at a second lateral side, and the outlet manifold is closed at the second lateral side and connected to the outlet at the first lateral side.

Abstract: A tablet counting apparatus and method and an associated control device are provided to ensure that the same type of tablets is transferred from a canister to a counter following the replacement of one canister with another. In addition to the counter and the replaceable canister, the tablet counting apparatus includes a gate that moves between closed and open positions. The tablet counting apparatus further includes a controller configured, following installation of the canister, to provide an authorization command to authorize the gate to be opened by being moved from the closed position to the open position. The tablet counting apparatus additionally includes a timer responsive to the authorization command. The controller is also configured to be responsive to the timer so as no longer provide the authorization command following expiration of the timer to prevent the gate from being subsequently opened if the gate has not already been opened.
