Publication number: 20240110712Abstract: Systems and methods for providing dehumidification to an enclosed space can include a dehumidification unit in a supply air plenum that receives return air and a regeneration unit in a scavenger air plenum that receives outdoor air. The system can operate in a wet mode and a dry mode, depending on outdoor air conditions and a relative humidity setpoint for the enclosed space. The dehumidification unit and regeneration unit are both operational in the wet mode to dehumidify the return air and regenerate dilute desiccant. In the dry mode, the dehumidification unit and regeneration unit are not needed, and dry outdoor air can be supplied to the enclosed space. A heat recovery system utilizes waste heat from either return air or scavenger air, depending on the operating mode, to heat the outdoor air before it is supplied to the enclosed space or before it is used for regenerating desiccant.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Gaoming Ge, Philip Paul LePoudre

Publication number: 20240081029Abstract: Conditioning systems and methods for providing cooling to a heat load can include an evaporative cooler arranged in a scavenger plenum with a recovery coil downstream of the evaporative cooler. The conditioning systems can operate in various modes, including an adiabatic mode and an evaporative mode, and a blended mode between the adiabatic mode and the evaporative mode, depending on environmental conditions. The blended mode can be enabled by a fluid transmission and retention device fluidically connected to the inlet and outlet of the evaporative cooler, the recovery coil outlet, and the heat load. The fluid transmission and retention device can variably distribute the cooling fluid exiting the recovery coil and the cooling fluid exiting the evaporative cooler to one or both of the heat load and the evaporative cooler inlet. In an example, the fluid transmission and retention device includes a manifold. In another example, the fluid transmission and retention device includes one or more tanks.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Philip Paul LePoudre, Christopher Regier, Marcel van den Hurk

Patent number: 11892193Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for conditioning air using a liquid-to-air membrane energy exchanger (LAMEE) as a pre-dryer, in combination with a direct evaporative cooler (DEC). The LAMEE and DEC can be arranged inside a process plenum configured to receive and condition air for delivery to an enclosed space. The LAMEE can circulate a liquid desiccant to remove moisture from the air, before passing the air through the DEC. As a result, the DEC can cool the air to lower temperatures and improve overall efficiency. In an example, a regeneration system can regenerate at least some of the liquid desiccant prior to recirculation through the LAMEE. In an example, the DEC can use removed water recovered in regeneration as make up water for the DEC. In an example, a liquid to air or liquid to liquid heat exchanger can cool the liquid desiccant, prior to recirculation through the LAMEE.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Nortek Air Solutions Canada, Inc.Inventor: Philip Paul LePoudre

Publication number: 20240027094Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling conditions in an enclosed space, such as a data center, or for providing cooling to a device, can include using a Liquid-to-Air Membrane Energy Exchanger (LAMEE) as an evaporative cooler. The LAMEE or exchanger can cool water to the outdoor air wet bulb temperature in a cooling system disposed outside of the enclosed space or device. The reduced-temperature water can be delivered to the enclosed space or device or can cool a coolant that is delivered to the enclosed space or device. The air in the enclosed space, or one or more components in the enclosed space, can be cooled by delivering the reduced-temperature water or coolant to the enclosed space, rather than moving the supply air from the enclosed space to the cooling system. In an example, the cooling system can include one or more cooling coils, upstream or downstream of the LAMEE.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Davood Ghadiri Moghaddam et al., Philip Paul LePoudre, Manfred Gerber

Patent number: 11781775Abstract: A hybrid system and method for conditioning air for an enclosed space can include a direct cooling system in combination with an indirect cooling system. The hybrid system can use direct cooling when ambient temperature and humidity levels are such that 100% outdoor air can be delivered to the enclosed space. The hybrid system can use indirect cooling when 100% of the return air can be conditioned using an external cooling unit and then returned to the enclosed space as supply air. The external cooling unit can include an evaporative cooler and operate in a dry mode and a wet mode. The external cooling unit can produce a reduced temperature cooling fluid and provide liquid cooling to the air when the system is operating in the indirect mode, and in some cases, in the direct mode. The hybrid system can operate in a mixed mode in which the external cooling unit is off and a mix of return air and outdoor air can be delivered to the enclosed space.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Nortek Air Solutions Canada, Inc.Inventors: Ahmed Hamdi Abdel-Salam, Philip Paul LePoudre, Manfred Gerber

Patent number: 11737239Abstract: Conditioning systems and methods for providing cooling to a heat load can include an evaporative cooler arranged in a scavenger plenum with a recovery coil downstream of the evaporative cooler. The conditioning systems can operate in various modes, including an adiabatic mode and an evaporative mode, depending on outdoor air conditions. The systems can operate in a blended mode between the adiabatic mode and the evaporative mode by varying the distribution of return water from the recovery coil into at least partially isolated sections of a storage tank, and selectively directing cold water from the evaporative cooler into the tank. The mix of warm and cold water exiting the tank can be varied to maintain the cold-water supply at or near a set point temperature for the heat load. In an example, the systems can include a pre-cooler in the plenum upstream of the evaporative cooler for pre-conditioning the scavenger air.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Nortek Air Solutions Canada, Inc.Inventor: Philip Paul LePoudre
