What is a Desiccant System?
A desiccant is either a solid or liquid chemical that can be used to remove moisture from the air (commonly found in a little package along with electronic equipment that says, “Do Not Eat”). The desiccant can be regenerated or reused repeatedly through the application of heat. Desiccant systems are used as dehumidifiers with other equipment such as heat exchangers, vapor compression cooling systems or evaporative coolers. They are used in fresh air make up units and comfort cooling systems in climates with high humidity. These systems can be used in supermarkets, movie theaters, schools, auditoriums and other facilities that require high volumes of fresh air.
