    The principle of heat pipe in Fresh Air Handling unit is as follow:

    1- The fresh air goes through the first heat pipe coil and heats up the liquid inside the coil thus the fresh air losses some of its heat and becomes cooler

    2- Then the cooler fresh air enters to the cooling coil and gets cooled to a cooler temperature than usuall, thus removing more moisture from the fresh air (you will why in step three)

    3- Then the fresh air enters the second heat pipe coil and gets heated up to the desired temperature

    Before Heat pipe technology the second coil was done by an electrical or gas heater. As well as you will need to increase the cooling coil size. Now with this heat pipe technology, running cost of energy is reduced.

    The idea of heat pipe is to enable the removal of more moisture from the air
