InSpire Transpiration Solutions, an HVAC products and services provider in the controlled environment horticulture industry, has incorporated innovative, sustainable dehumidification technology into its HVAC system designs. InSpire’s patent-pending technology can help cultivators reduce heating, ventilation and air conditioning operating expenditures by as much as 50%, according to the company.
InSpire’s dehumidification systems involve the use of a multi-coil water runaround loop to efficiently transfer energy before and after compressor-based dehumidification. The multi-coil system reduces energy use and increases energy efficiency by cooling the temperature of return air from the grow room to at or near the dew point prior to being dehumidified, without compressor energy, and by heating the temperature of the air after dehumidification, without compressor or other new energy to bring it back to the grow room set point.
