The granted patent US12044421B2 describes an advanced system designed to control temperature and humidity within a building's space. The system integrates several components, including a recovery wheel, a desiccant-based dehumidification wheel, a primary cooling coil, and a secondary direct-expansion refrigeration circuit. This configuration allows for the formation of a supply airstream that processes outdoor air through these components before delivering it to multiple zones equipped with chilled beams. The system also establishes an exhaust airstream that effectively manages return air, ensuring efficient temperature and humidity control across different zones.

Additionally, the patent outlines the functionality of a system controller that modulates various components based on real-time measurements of temperature and humidity. This includes operating in different modes such as cooling, dehumidification, and economizer modes, which optimize energy use while maintaining comfort levels. The system is designed to handle both latent and sensible loads, with specific mechanisms to prevent condensation on chilled beams. The integration of multiple pump modules and temperature sensors further enhances the system's ability to deliver precise climate control, making it suitable for diverse building environments.
