WSV6 LARGE VERTICAL SERIES - IOM APPLICATION CONTINUED HOT GAS REHEAT DEHUMIDIFICATION OVERVIEW Because ventilation air is introduced into buildings, indoor air quality (IAQ) and relative humidity (RH) are important issues to address in selecting heating and cooling equipment. With the Hydrotech WSV6 hot gas reheat dehumidification option, the return air from space is conditioned by a dedicated air-to-refrigerant coil and then reheated by a reheat coil to control space temperature and reduce space relative humidity.
