The model has inputs for water removal, energy factor and air flow rate at rated conditions (26.7°\si{\degreeCelsius}, 60\% RH).

Other inputs including minimum and maximum operating temperatures for dehumidifier operation, off-cycle parasitic load, and an input to direct the removed water to a storage tank.

The model assumes that this equipment dehumidifies and heats the air. If used in tandem with another system that cools and dehumidifies the zone air, then the zone dehumidifier should be specified as the lowest cooling priority in the \hyperref[zonehvacequipmentlist]{ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList} object for best control of zone temperature and humidity levels (e.g., if there are 3 pieces of equipment in \hyperref[zonehvacequipmentlist]{ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList}, then the zone dehumidifier should have Cooling Priority = 3). With this zone equipment prioritization, the other cooling and dehumidification system would operate first to meet the temperature setpoint (and possibly meet the high humidity setpoint as well). If additional dehumidification is needed, then the zone dehumidifier would operate. The sensible heat generated by the dehumidifier is carried over to the zone air heat balance for the next HVAC time step.
