In this study, a novel self-regenerating electric vapor compression heat pump desiccant (HPD) unit operated in the heating and humidification mode during the winter season is introduced. The HPD unit was installed in an office suite for the field test. The performance of the HPD unit and the provided indoor conditions were measured over a wide range of operating conditions. The target indoor humidity ratio was set to 4.4 g/kg, which is the minimum required indoor humidity ratio for a comfortable indoor environment indicated in the ASHRAE winter thermal comfort zone. The seasonal comparison revealed that even though 77.7% of all outdoor humidity ratio data was lower than 4.4 g/kg, 78.2% and 85.8% of all the indoor humidity ratio data of each room were found to be higher than 4.4 g/kg. In addition, due to the significant sensible capacity of the HPD unit, the indoor temperatures could be maintained within 2025 C. These results prove that the HPD unit not only properly humidifies the indoors without using any additional water source, like the conventional humidifier, but also helps to keep the indoor temperature at the desired temperature levels.
