Ecochillers to Present Advanced DOAS Unit with Copeland HMX™ Liquid Desiccant Technology at AHR Expo 2026
Ecochillers will be returning to the AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, taking place from February 2–4, 2026, to showcase a breakthrough in ventilation and humidity-control technology: the Ecochillers DOAS (Dedicated Outdoor Air System) featuring the Copeland HMX™ Liquid Desiccant Module.
Designed for high-performance buildings, industrial facilities, hospitality environments, healthcare, and any application where fresh-air quality and humidity control are mission-critical, this DOAS platform delivers a new level of efficiency and reliability in outdoor-air treatment.
A Next-Generation DOAS Engineered for High Efficiency and Precision
The Ecochillers DOAS integrates modular, configurable technologies that allow engineers and owners to tailor the system to their exact airflow, humidity, and energy-performance needs.
Core Advantages of the Ecochillers DOAS with Copeland HMX™
1. Up to 40% Energy Savings
Thanks to the Copeland HMX™ Liquid Desiccant Module, the system delivers single-step cooling and dehumidification, dramatically reducing the load on downstream HVAC systems.
Compared to conventional cooling-based dehumidification, this technology can achieve energy savings of up to 40%, reducing operating expenses and maximizing lifecycle value.
2. Single-Step Cooling & Dehumidification
Traditional HVAC systems often require multiple stages and components to manage temperature and humidity.
The Ecochillers DOAS performs both in one integrated process, resulting in:
- Higher latent-removal efficiency
- Reduced mechanical complexity
- Improved indoor environmental quality (IEQ)
- Ability to maintain stable humidity even in extreme outdoor conditions
This is particularly beneficial for hospitals, food-processing areas, data rooms, and comfort-critical environments.
3. Built with Ecochillers Innovation & Copeland Technology
The system features:
- Copeland HMX™ Liquid Desiccant Module
- High-efficiency variable-speed compressors
- Electronic variable-speed fans for precise airflow control
- Refrigerant R-454B, a low-GWP option aligned with global sustainability standards
Together, these components provide high reliability, smooth operation, and long-term performance suitable for continuous-operation facilities.
4. Modular & Configurable Architecture
The DOAS platform was engineered for flexibility:
- Scalable modules
- Configurable sub-systems
- Adaptable components for different climates and ventilation codes
- Ease of integration into both new construction and retrofit environments
This makes the system an excellent fit for projects aiming for ASHRAE compliance, improved indoor air quality, and significant energy reductions.
