Abstract
An improved method and apparatus for regenerating aqueous desiccants for use in an air conditioning system are disclosed. The disclosed method and apparatus utilizes a gas-fired desiccant boiler and a combined desiccant regenerator/interchange heat exchaner. The combined regenerator/heat exchanger utilizes steam produced from the boiler to provide heat for partial regeneration. The desiccant boiler has a liquid/vapor separator chamber and thermosyphon recirculation to reduce scale and corrosion of the boiler.
