    Target: HVAC

    The next wave of HVAC systems may just evolve from this prototype evaporative air conditioning system.

    2 MIN READ
    DEVap consists of two distinct stages: a dehumidifier stage and an indirect evaporative cooling stage. Water is added to the tops of both stages, while liquid desiccant is pumped through the first stage. Some outdoor air is mixed with return air from the building to form the supply air stream, which flows from left to right through the two stages. NREL developers believe that a commercial building application of this technology will come to market in about five years, and a residential version may be available in 10.
