Carolina Heat Pipe, Inc. has furnished passive (non-energy consuming) humidity control and energy recovery equipment for installation in commercial and industrial air conditioning equipment manufactured by others since 1993. Typically we customize off-the-shelf equipment. The resulting air conditioning system is more effective in dealing with the high humidity typical in the southern coastal areas of the United States. More recently, we have applied our technology to a new split system energy saving system for laboratories and other buildings that must avoid cross-contamination between air streams while recovering exhaust energy to reduce operating costs.
