METHOD OF AND MEANS FOR CONTROLLING THE CONDITION OF AIR IN AN ENCLOSURE The air in an enclosure, such as a greenhouse is dehumidified using a direct-contact heat exchanger utilizing concentrated brine. The diluted brine produced when water vapor in the greenhouse condenses on the concentrated brine is regenerated in a fuel-fired boiler whose products of combustion, carbon dioxide and water vapor, are passed into the enclosure. The products of combustion provide the desired level of carbon dioxide in the enclosure; and the excess water vapor in the products of combustion as well as a significant portion of the water vapor produced by plants, growing in the enclosure are removed by the hygroscopic concentrated brine. |
