Abstract
An efficient method and system for dehumidifying an environment and refrigerating a second environment with a closed loop refrigeration system consisting of compressing refrigerant with a refrigeration compressor (10) to a high temperature and pressure, condensing the high pressure refrigerant to a liquid at a high temperature, circulating high pressure refrigerant through a heat exchanger (60) which is used to transfer energy from the liquid to an environment which is being air conditioned at a higher efficiency which contains the refrigerated environment (200). The liquid is then evaporated to a gas at a low pressure in a refrigeration evaporator coil (220).
