Abstract
An air conditioner dehumidifier comprising coil portions cooled for example by chilled water or refrigerant. Under part load conditions, restriction of coolant flow below peak load flow, or its total elimination, is limited to some only of the coil portions, while the remainder may receive as much or more coolant flow as at peak load conditions. The relatively unrestricted coolant flow through this remainder can be greater than that under peak load conditions due to more pump output being available to supply the reduced active size of the coil.
