ABSTRACT:
A condenser system for controlling vapor concentration contained in a flowing airstream is provided. The flowing airstream has an initial temperature upon entering the condenser system and a final temperature upon exiting the condenser system. The condenser system has a membrane member allowing mass transfer of the vapor therethrough with the airstream contacting the membrane member. A condensing member diffuses the vapor from the airstream through the membrane member. An insulating layer is positioned between the membrane member and the condensing member with the insulating layer inhibiting heat transfer between the flowing airstream and the condensing member wherein the final temperature of the airstream is substantially equal to the initial temperature of the airstream.
