Dehumidification or dehydration unit for apicultural use

Abstract

A dehumidification or dehydration Unit is comprised by a coil or heat exchanger of evaporation ( 1 ), a coil or heat exchanger of condensation ( 2 ), an expansion valve ( 3 ), a rejected heat air stream ( 4 ) by the condensation coil ( 2 ), a compressor ( 5 ) or another equipment for increasing pressure, a ventilator ( 6 ) is provided for rejection of heat to environment from the parts of the condensation coil ( 2 ) and a circuit or substance ( 7 ) that is to be dehydrated or demisted. A ventilator unit ( 8 ) for recirculation of air and a gutter ( 9 ) for collection of condensate in the coil, which is collected by the condensate drain ( 10 ), are also provided. An air duct ( 12 ) is provided for rejection of heat. The condensation coil ( 2 ) is divided by a border or wall ( 16 ), to use part of the heat for the reheating of the cold and dry air.
