1. :

  • Dehumidification apparatus comprising;

    an indoor section including an evaporator, a reheat condenser, and a supply-air fan;

    a condensing unit that includes a compressor, a primary condenser, and a fluid pump that provides a flow of heat-exchange medium over said primary condenser;

    a refrigeration circuit containing refrigerant that flows through said indoor section and said condensing unit, wherein said refrigerant selectively flows through said primary condenser and/or said reheat condenser;

    a first process control for selectively enabling three modes of operation, said modes of operation including a dehumidification-and-heating mode, a dehumidification-and-cooling mode, and a dehumidification-only mode;

    a second process control for directly adjusting a rate of flow of said heat-exchange medium, based on a property of said refrigerant at said primary condenser;

    wherein, in said dehumidification-only mode, said second process control apportions heat of rejection to said reheat condenser and said primary condenser as required to maintain a temperature of supply air to said indoor space.
