MSP Technology: High Efficiency HVAC System

The MSP Technology (http://www.msptechnology.com) high efficiency dehumidification system is an intelligent product. This systems is extremely cost effective in places where dehumidification systems need to be operating all the time (such as in hotels, public housing and hospitals – particularly those in tropical climate zones).

Energy Efficiency

The high efficiency system uses an internal heat exchanger to regulate the temperature of dehumidified air; this minimizes the amount of energy needed to operate the system and thus greatly reduces energy costs. Since this system has an internal heat exchanger, it can be driven with chilled water. This feature is especially useful in cities, metropolitan areas and campuses where central chiller plants are common.

The motors used to run this high efficiency system are on the cutting-edge. These motors are a quantum leap in fan performance because high efficiency is maintained throughout the range of fan speeds. By maintaining performance at any speed, there is no energy lost when the fan switches speeds. This also means there is no waste heat generated during operation – and this translates into more energy savings.

Less Maintenance, More Occupant Comfort

On top of these benefits, it is well known in the green building industry that humidity can cause major problems. In humid climates, moisture can build up on the surfaces of rooms, and even penetrate to the interior walls. This may cause mold problems and lead to health problems for building occupants and maintenance issues over time. Given this, the MSP Technology dehumidification system is a long-term, practical, sustainable choice; not only will you be reducing energy costs but you will also be protecting your building materials and protecting your building occupants.
