Abstract
A method and system for controlling moisture content of a gaseous flow. A pair of desiccant contact structures each provided with a process adapted to pass through a process gaseous stream to altering the moisture content of the gaseous stream. Each desiccant contact structure also has a regeneration side adapted to pass through a regeneration gaseous stream for altering the moisture content of a desiccant in the contact structure. The process side of a first desiccant contact structure is fluidly connected to the regeneration side of a second desiccant contact structure via a first closed recirculation loop. In an alternative embodiment a second closed recirculation loop may also be provided on the regeneration side of the first desiccant contact structure. Gaseous flow is then provided to the process side of the second desiccant contact structure to thereby control its moisture.
