  • Patent number: 11226110
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a cabinet, a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, and a fan. The cabinet is configured to be installed between studs in a wall. The evaporator is installed within the cabinet above the compressor. The condenser is installed within the cabinet above the evaporator. The fan is installed between the evaporator and a back surface of the cabinet. The fan is configured to generate the airflow that flows into the cabinet through the evaporator and out of the cabinet through condenser. The airflow flows through the evaporator and condenser in order to provide dehumidification to the airflow.

  • Patent number: 10750676
    Abstract: A dehumidification system includes a desiccant, a primary heat exchanger, a secondary heat exchanger, three fans, and a burner. The first fan generates a carbon dioxide airflow through the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger. The burner generates a flame into one end of the primary heat exchanger. The flame increases an amount of carbon dioxide within the carbon dioxide airflow. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow that flows over a portion of the secondary heat exchanger, a portion of the primary heat exchanger, and then through a first portion of the desiccant in order to dry the desiccant. The third fan generates a process airflow that flows through a second portion of the desiccant in order to provide dehumidification to the process airflow.

  • Patent number: 10401053
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, first and second fans, and a bracket. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to provide dehumidification. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to dry the desiccant. The bracket is configured to mount the first fan within the dehumidifier. The bracket includes a first portion coupled to the first fan that supports weight of the first fan when the dehumidifier is in an upright position. The bracket also includes a support member coupled to the first portion and a side of the dehumidifier. The side member supports weight of the first fan when the dehumidifier is in a horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 10359203
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a wheel-shaped desiccant, a first fan, and a second fan. The wheel-shaped desiccant is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above. The first fan is configured to generate a process airflow that flows through a first portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters a first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits a second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant, the first being opposite from the second side. The second fan is configured to generate a reactivation airflow that flows through a second portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to dry the wheel-shaped desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits the first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant.

  • Publication number: 20180372358
    Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, a first fan, a second fan, and a circuit. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters the dehumidifier through a process airflow inlet and exits through a process airflow outlet. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant to dry the desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the dehumidifier through a reactivation airflow inlet and exits through a reactivation airflow outlet. The circuit includes a power setting switch that controls whether the dehumidifier operates in a low or high power setting. In the low power setting, the dehumidifier operates on power from a first electrical outlet type. In the high power setting, the dehumidifier operates on power from a second electrical outlet type that is different from the first electrical outlet type.
