Abstract
The temperature of humid environmental air is reduced by passing the air, in a first stage, through a moisture storage agent and therein substantially freeing the air of the moisture content thereof. In a second stage, the air is passed through a heat storage agent and therein the temperature of the air is lowered without changing the humidity thereof. In a third stage the thus dried and cooled air is passed through a moisturizing system, and therein the moisture content of the air is increased and the temperature of the air is further lowered.
