Im hoping somebody can help out there. Im needing to make a very efficient and compact dehumidifier. We have only a small amount of air flow available, so im trying to select the correct type of coil. Ive been offered a type of coil which is like an oval or squashed type tube, aluminium extrusion with fins on the inside. I am told that this type is very efficient. We are looking at getting a prototype made and our other problem is aswell as low flow, we only have approx 12 " x 12 " to mount this coil in. Can anybody comment on this type of material? Thanks in advance.

something that forces most of that air flow to make contact with a cold surface will remove more moisture. Increase the depth of the coil by adding more rows, make sure the rows are staggered, increase the fins per inch on the coil
