Abstract
Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A dehumidifying system for use in a building housing a swimming pool. The system includes a refrigerant compressor, a dehumidifier coil for dehumidifying air within the building, an air cooled condenser for reheating the air previously cooled down in the dehumidifying coil as well as for heating the swimming pool enclosure and a water cooled condenser for heating the pool water. The heat developed in the system can be used to selectively heat the dehumidified air within the building and the water in the swimming pool. The water obtained during dehumidification of the air is collected and returned to the swimming pool.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A dehumidifying system for use in a building hous-ing a swimming pool comprising: a refrigerant compressor; a pool water heater; an air heater; a dehumidifying coil; means for passing air within the building over the dehumidifying coil and then over the air heater; means for circulating refrigerant from the compressor to the dehumidifying coil, to dehumidify air passed over the coil, and back to the compressor; and means for using the refrigerant in the pool water heater and in the air heater, in passing from the compressor to the dehumidifying coil, to heat the pool water and the dehumidified air.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A dehumidifying system for use in a building hous-ing a swimming pool comprising: a refrigerant compressor; a pool water heater; an air heater; a dehumidifying coil; means for passing air within the building over the dehumidifying coil and then over the air heater; means for circulating refrigerant from the compressor to the dehumidifying coil, to dehumidify air passed over the coil, and back to the compressor; and means for using the refrigerant in the pool water heater and in the air heater, in passing from the compressor to the dehumidifying coil, to heat the pool water and the dehumidified air.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claim 1 includ-ing means for having the refrigerant by-pass the air heater when air heating is not required, and air temperature sensing means operating the by-pass means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claim 2 includ-ing means for circulating pool water through the water heater means for controlling the amount of pool water circulated through the pool water heater, and air temperature sensing means operating the water controlling means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claim 3 includ-ing pool water temperature sensing means for operating the water controlling means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claims 1, 2 or 3 including means for disposing of surplus heat from the refrige-rant outside of the building when passing from the dehumidifying coil to the compressor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claims 1, 2 or 3 including means for collecting water taken out of the air at the dehumidifying coil and returning it to the swimming pool.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claims 1, 2 or 3 including means for controlling and modulating the amount of air passed over the dehumidifying coil by the blower means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claims 1, 2 or 3 including means for controlling and modulating the amount of air passed over the dehumidifying coil by the blower means, said means for controlling incorporating means for measuring the en-thalpy of the said air.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
56 words
A dehumidifying system as claimed in Claims 1, 2 or 3 including means for controlling and modulating the amount of air passed over the dehumidifying coil by the blower means, said means for controlling incorporating means for measuring the en-thalpy of the said air, incorporating means for measuring the temperature and humidity of the said air.
