Calcium Chloride based dessicant

[trendset]

Hello everyone.
I would like to experiment with solar air conditioning, wich may work as a massive dehumidifier.

I have the idea of making a suspension/solution of Calcium Chloride and / or some sort of Lithium dessicant salt in some sort of oil, run between a solar boiler to evaporate water,on the outside, and then, feed that moisture hungry suspension / solution into something like a big oil wet air cleaner, where an electric fan / turbine would cause suction of damp air into the filter, the dessicant fluid would dry it and it would come out of this very dry.

This video has inspired me:

Nicely presented, lengthy.

Note though that the Relative Humidity (RH) went UP (lower air temperature with the same amount of water vapor per volume of air).

Cheers,
Tom

Yes, it's because the real refrigerant is humidity itself, just tries to fill the void left by what has been absorbed and outward driven by means of this device.
