Patent 7059151 was granted and assigned to Carrier Corporation on June, 2006 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Refrigerant system schematics are provided with enhanced humidity and temperature control of the air supplied to an environment to be conditioned. In particular, an economizer cycle is incorporated to be utilized in a combination with a reheat coil. Proposed system configurations enhance system performance characteristics, offer more steps of unloading, especially in the reheat mode of operation, and operate at improved reliability. Additionally, due to the enhanced performance of the economizer cycle, the reheat coil size can be reduced.
