The document describes Nautica's Multiple Small Plate (MSP) dehumidification technology. MSP technology uses small plate heat exchangers and smaller compressors to pre-cool and partially dehumidify incoming air, allowing larger dehumidification capacity with 50% lower energy costs than conventional systems. Nautica offers MSP technology in air handling units and fanless modules for various indoor applications, including food processing, hospitals, schools, and more.

2. How MSP Dehumidification
Technology Works
1. Warm, humid incoming air flows through the first pass of the plate
type air-to-air heat exchangers for pre-cooling and initial dehumid-
ification. This is accomplished by regenerative thermal exchange
with the cooler air that is leaving the heat exchanger. (see step 3)

Advantage: Pre-cooled and pre-dehumidified air can be treated
much more efficiently, using smaller compressors that require
as little as one-half the power.
3. The cool, dehumidified air is then drawn back through the opposite

side of the heat exchanger where it absorbs heat from incoming
air (see step 1) and continues on to the building's HVAC system.

Advantage: No heating coiland no energy penaltyneeded to re-
