Heat pipes for dehumidification
Heat pipes for dehumidification
When applied to HVAC, heat pipes provide significant dehumidification enhancement and improve indoor air quality. The additional benefit of energy saving occurs in many situations, especially where reheat is required. Depending on conditions, heat pipes can double the amount of moisture removed by an air conditioner’s cooling coil
SPC has undertaken a research program in conjunction with Brunel University with the aim of providing a novel manufacturing solution. The development is now complete, resulting in the latest version of SPC heat pipes being available at commercial prices and relying on water rather than refrigerant as their working fluid.
The technology developed by SPC is the subject of a worldwide patent, covering the newly developed manufacturing technique.
Refrigerant charged heat pipes have been successfully used for many years and provide significant energy saving benefits to all projects in which they have been incorporated.

SPC Receive World Wide Patents For Their Revolutionary Water Heat Pipe Manufacturing Technology
SPC have successfully achieved European, UK, Chinese and Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) patents of their one of a kind water heat pipe manufacturing technology. Heat Pipes are the most effective passive method of transferring heat available today. In their simplest form, a sealed tube (usually copper) is evacuated and charged with a working fluid. Heat transfer…
