Munters
Munters introduces the DryCool™ HD dehumidification system. The DryCool™ HD uses a combination of desiccants and non-ozone depleting refrigerants to deliver cool, dry air for light commercial applications, improving comfort without increasing air conditioning loads.
Unlike typical dehumidifiers, the DryCool™ HD does not use heat to dry the air which increases the need for air conditioning. Instead, the DryCool™ HD uses a desiccant dehumidification wheel and R-410a to remove heat and moisture from incoming air.

RenewAire
RenewAire introduces its fifth generation energy recovery ventilation (ERV) core. The new G5 core provides over 22% more humidity transfer at AHRI summer design conditions
The G5 core provides a reduced pressure drop making it among the lowest for static-plate energy recovery ventilators, sources say. The exhaust air transfer is certified 0.0% at balanced pressure and the G5 core passes UL 723 with less than 25/50 flame spread/smoke developed rating. The laminar flow over the entire operating range results in no particulate accumulation and simple maintenance of once-a-year face vacuuming. Gas phase water transfer means no condensation and no active defrost required in virtually any climate.
