<p>A dehumidification system is described for the dehumidification of a gas stream. The system has a gas inlet conduit defining at least one gas flow channel to receive gas to be dehumidified, a dehumidification unit including one or more desiccant elements each comprising a contained volume of solid desiccant material through which gas to be dehumidified is passed in use, and a gas outlet conduit defining at least one gas flow channel to convey dehumidified gas downstream. The desiccant element further comprises anode(s) and cathode(s) disposed in spaced arrangement about the contained volume of solid desiccant to apply a potential difference across the desiccant such as in use to drive electro- osmotic removal of water from the desiccant. An air-conditioning system embodying such a dehumidification system and methods of use of the same are also described.</p> |
