The present invention relates to an apparatus and methods employing halogen lithium chloride for dehumidification in air conditioning. More particularly, the present invention is comprised of a dehumidifier with concentrated aqueous halogen lithium chloride as desiccant and regenerator (or concentrator) of diluted desiccant for reuse. The dehumidification portion of the apparatus utilizes woven fiberglass cloth in a construction that presents a very large surface area with required characteristics to support efficient and rapid interaction between desiccant and air. The construction also allows air to move between a large number of parallel arranged corridors of woven fiberglass cloth wetted with desiccant for interaction. Evaporation of water from diluted desiccant is aided by use of vacuum to lower water evaporation temperature, and electronically controlled microwave is employed to heat only the solution for desiccant regeneration to save energy.
