A temperature and humidity control system comprising: a heat pump including a compressor, an inside air coil and an outside air coil; vaporizable refrigerant contained in a closed conduit communicating with said compressor, said inside air coil and said outside air coil; a regeneratable dessicant material; valve and conduit means for selectably directing air into and communicating with said inside air coil, said outside air coil and said dessicant material, said valve and conduit means comprising: first means operable in a cooling/dehumidifying mode for supplying inside air first to said inside air coil and from said inside air coil to said dessicant material, and from said dessicant material to a volume sought to be conditioned; second means operable in a heating/humidifying mode for supplying air first to said inside air coil and from said inside air coil to said dessicant material for humidifying of said air and thence to a volume sought to be conditioned; third means operable in said cooling/dehumidifying mode for supplying outside air first to said outside air coil and from said outside air coil to said dessicant material for dehumidifying said dessicant material; fourth means operable in said heating/humidifying mode for supplying outside air first to said outside air coil and from said outside air coil to said dessicant material for regenerating said dessicant material; and fifth means operative in a heating/humidifying/frost avoidance mode causing outside air to communicate first with said dessicant material and thence with said outside air coil.
