Carolina Heat Pipe provided energy efficient dehumidification for a high-rise commercial building located in Houston Texas.  This project required a 29,000 CFM 100% outside air handler.   

The smart solution provided by the experienced engineers at Carolina Heat Pipe was the installation of a non-controllable ST Mach 1 TRAHP® Thermosyphon Run Around Heat Pipe system. The Thermosyphon Run Around Heat Pipe process is a passive process that does not require a pump or compressor and does not consume any energy. The TRAHP® system is a simple passive reheat system consisting of two uniquely configured heat pipe thermosyphon coils which are positioned on either side of the cooling coil.  

The Carolina Heat Pipe TRAHP® was custom designed for this specific application. When incorporated in an air handler the TRAHP® will remove more moisture using less energy and provide a more comfortable environment. 

The inclusion of a CHP Thermosyphon Run Around Heat Pipe (TRAHP®) makes the air conditioning system more effective and is often selected by building designers to reduce the energy load.
