States the unit provides all required heating and cooling without the use of refrigeration and at significantly lower energy cost than a conventional electric-powered system. Describes the integrated desiccant heating/cooling system and a comparative study of the energy use and cost of the gas unit and a vapour-compression air-to-air heat pump system operating in a typical 2000 ft2 (186 m2) fast-food restaurant in Brooklyn, New York.
