Dehumidifier for the pool in OpenStudio

Hi!

I want to use OperStudio to simulate a classic pool dehumidifier. This dryer should include an evaporator, condenser, compressor and fan as shown in the diagram. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to simulate such a device. Please tell me what are the ways to solve this issue.


DX dehumidifier


I simulated a pool dehumidification process using the Unitary DX Heat Pump. Do I understand correctly that in this case energy recovery does not occur:

  • The cooling coil cools the air and condenses the moisture and then the heating coil heats the air.
  • When cooling the coil, energy comes from outside thanks to the compressor. During heating, the energy of the electric heater is used.

Thank you.
