Wrap-Around Heat Pipes, as the name suggests, are installed having two sections, Pre-Cool Section (evaporator) and Reheat Section (condenser), on two sides of cooling coil inside an AHU.
While Pre-Cool Section saves energy by reducing the temperature of the incoming air, the Reheat section provides supplementary heat which enhances the moisture removal of the coil. These Heat Pipes are versatile and useful in a wide variety of building types and have been equally successful in commercial as well as industrial applications.
Heat Pipes eliminate the need for ‘expensive to operate’ methods like electric heaters & desiccant dehumidifiers for RH control of around 50-55%, saving the building from being ‘Sick Building’. Heat Pipes saving are huge in terms of Operating Costs.
