The dehumidification circuit in the Bard Q36A4D air conditioner incorporates an independent heat exchanger coil in the supply air stream. This coil uses discharge gas to reheat the supply air after it passes over the cooling coil without requiring the electric resistance heater to be used for reheat purposes. This results in very high mechanical dehumidification capability from the air conditioner on demand without using electric resistance reheat. The dehumidification refrigerant reheat circuit is controlled by a dehumidification valve directing the refrigerant gas to the normal condenser during periods when standard air conditioning is required. During periods of time of low ambient temperature (approximately 65° to 75° outdoor) and high indoor humidity, a humidistat senses the need for mechanical dehumidification. It then energizes both the compressor circuit and dehumidification valve, thus directing the hot refrigerant discharge gas into a separate desuperheating condenser circuit, which reheats the conditioned air before it is delivered to the room. The refrigerant gas is then routed from the desuperheating condenser to the system condenser for further heat transfer. When the humidistat is satisfied, the system automatically switches off. The result is separate humidity control at minimum operating cost.
