Abstract: A multi-use system for influencing organic matter in an environmentally controlled room is provided with a modular dehumidification system. The modular dehumidification system includes a head unit, with separate cooling and heating subcircuits, and multiple modular dehumidifier units. Each modular dehumidifier unit has a cooling coil operable to cool and/or dehumidify the air and a heating coil operable to heat the air, for example, to raise room temperature and/or offset heat loss arising during dehumidification. The cooling coils are connected to the head unit in parallel to one another and the heating coils are connected to the head unit in parallel to one another. The number of modular dehumidifier units installed in the system is selected to provide the system with the desired maximum capacity. The control system may be configured to activate the appropriate number of cooling and heating coils, and to control the operation of each active coil.

Abstract: A tree stand including a retaining collar. The collar has a pair of hingedly connected body segments for encircling a tree trunk and a number of clamps for grasping the tree trunk encircled by the body segments. At least one of the clamps is attached to each of the body segments. A number of braces is releasably fastened to the body segments of the collar and radiate outwardly from the collar. A number of decking plates, upon which one or more hunters can stand, is releasably fastened to the braces and is supported by the braces. A number of chairs, upon which an equal number of hunters can sit, is releasably fastened to the decking plates.

Abstract: A fluid transport system including a fluid transfer assembly, an air dryer and a tube. The fluid transfer assembly includes a pipe for transporting a cold fluid and a vapor barrier surrounding the pipe. The air dryer removes moisture in the air. The tube is connected to the air dryer and the fluid transfer assembly. The tube transfers air from the air dryer to the fluid transfer assembly at a plurality of points along a length of the fluid transfer assembly.

Abstract: A pipe assembly includes pipe having a protecting saddle connected thereto. A support member and a support saddle are provided to sustain the pipe, with the protecting saddle resting on the support saddle. One of the protecting saddle and the support saddle has a slippery coating to allow the pipe to move relative to the support saddle.

Abstract: A fluid transport system including a fluid transfer assembly, a supply of dry gas and a tube. The fluid transfer assembly includes a pipe for transporting a cold fluid and a vapor barrier surrounding the pipe. The tube is connected to the the supply of dry gas and the fluid transfer assembly, and located at least partially within the fluid transfer assembly. The tube transfers gas from the supply of dry gas to the fluid transfer assembly throughout at least a segment of the tube within the fluid transfer assembly.
