AMCA Supplement: Independent Control Of Humidity, Temperature In New Compact, Packaged Design
Many commercial buildings - schools, restaurants, drugstores, convenience stores, and theaters - suffer from humidity-related problems that cannot be resolved with conventional air conditioning systems because they are not effective at controlling humidity. By controlling humidity, commercial buildings can not only reduce risks or liabilities such as, mold, bacteria, structural, and material damage but also can create a more comfortable, odor-free environment while saving energy dollars associated with ventilation and overcooling.
The new Humidity Control Unit (HCU) 3000 by Munters provides the most economical way to bring makeup air into a commercial space and control temperature and humidity at the same time. A compact, packaged unit, the HCU-3000 recycles waste energy from cooling components to provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient way to control humidity and temperature. The system treats 100% makeup air and can work alone or in conjunction with existing air conditioning or energy recovery ventilator units. The HCU-3000 conditions up to 3,400 cfm of makeup air and can carry up to 12 tons of cooling. Compact in design, it is available with gas or electric post heat and configurable to a 2,000 cfm or 3,000 cfm unit, with return air and night setback modes.
