METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COOLING AND DEHUMIDIFYING AIR

A method and an apparatus for rapidly cooling and dehumidifying air within a space. In this method, air to be cooled and dehumidified is forced into a cooling zone including an evaporator (101) having fins (103) forming air channels. The fins and the air channels are preferably substantially vertica...

Zusammenfassung:	A method and an apparatus for rapidly cooling and dehumidifying air within a space. In this method, air to be cooled and dehumidified is forced into a cooling zone including an evaporator (101) having fins (103) forming air channels. The fins and the air channels are preferably substantially vertica l. Air is circulated between the space and the cooling zone in such a manner th at the air circulates within the air channels and droplets of condensed water resulting from condensation are evacuated from the cooling zone. One advanta ge of the above method and apparatus for carrying out the same is that the evaporator can be completely cleaned and sanitized in a few minutes. Since t he apparatus allows rapid shedding of any condensation off of the evaporator, freeze-ups never occur. Defrosting is thus eliminated, saving precious time and electrical energy. The above apparatus is particularly adapted for rapid ly cooling food.
