In this article a conventional DX system is compared to three other all-electric enhanced dehumidification DX system packages to provide insight into their respective preformance capabilities. The author's conclusion is that augmenting a conventional DX cooling coil with enhanced dehumidification components (such as a wraparound heat pipe heat exchanger, a desiccant dehumidifier in a wraparound configuration too, or a post coil desiccant dehumidifier regenarated by condenser waste heat) can substantially increase an integrated system's moisture removal capacity.
