Solar Thermal Humidity Control

The Problem

High air conditioning electricity consumption High hot water heating energy consumption Inefficient humidity control through air conditioning Poor indoor air quality Mold, Mildew and Allergen Growth Cost of mitigation and long payback cycle Need to maintain occupant comfort Integrated system to maximize system efficiencies Flexible and scalable for existing building installation Turnkey installation of all associated trades

Solution – Humidity Control using a Renewable Energy Source

Dehumidify the air with Solar Thermal at the Heat Source

Benefits: Reduced Costs Healthier Air Green Technology

Tailored to your needs: Integrated design to maximize system efficiencies Flexible and scalable for existing building installation Turnkey installation of all associated trades

Why Humidity Control?

Aquarii System -Solar Thermal Desiccant Humidity Control

Three proven energy savings technologies1. Solar Thermal Collection2. Tank Less Hot Water Heater3. Desiccant Wheel Dehumidifier

Air Flow

How It Works

Energy Savings

• Higher building set temperatures ( up to 78)

• For every deg F increase, A/C savings are estimated at 5-7%.

• Solar thermal hot water for potable water demand (showering, hand wash, cooking, cleaning, pool heat)

• Finally a way to convert solar energy to part of the air conditioning requirement.

Example Install - Patrick AFB

The Problem:• PAFB parachute drying facility

– Air conditioning system to dry 100 parachutes 24 hour period– Upwards of 5 days to accomplish mission– High electrical energy consumption – Mold complaints

• Renewable energy mandates unmet for this installation

Solution

Humidity Control using a Renewable Energy Source• Reduce Air Conditioning Load• Energy Cost Reduction (projected at 50%)• Designed to Meet Mission Critical Drying Times (1 day,

100 chutes)• Improve Indoor Air Quality• Improve building worker comfort• Turnkey installation PAFB Experienced Contractors• Simple system maintenance requirements

PAFB Desiccant

Potential Military Applications

• Barracks• Commissaries• Recreational Facilities• Weapons and Ordinance Storage Facilities• Painting and Repair Facilities• Parachute Drying Facilities• Assembly/Auditorium• Expeditionary Facilities• Medical Facilities• Office Buildings
