Heat Pipe Structure
A traditional heat pipe is a hollow cylinder filled with a vaporizable liquid.
A. Heat is absorbed in the evaporating section.D. Liquid returns by gravity to the lower part of cylinder (evaporating section).
Heat Pipes for Dehumidification

. The first section is located in the incoming air stream. When warm air passes over the heat pipes, the refrigerant vaporizes, carrying heat to the second section of heat pipes, placed downstream. Because some heat has been removed from the air before encountering the evaporator coil, the incoming air stream section is called the precool heat pipe.Air passing through the evaporator coil is assisted to a lower temperature, resulting in greater condensate removal. The "overcooled" air is then reheated to a comfortable temperature by the reheat heat pipe section, using the heat transferred from the precool heat pipe. This entire process of precool and reheat is accomplished with no additional energy use. The result is an air conditioning system with the ability to remove 50 to 100% more moisture than regular systems.
