Which effect on an industrial dehumidifier utilizing a desiccant wheel running with increased angular velocity and insufficient airflow results when saturated?

A)Sublimation heat reduces capacity rapidly
B)Adsorption declines sharply from saturation
C)Evaporation rate balances quicker overall
D)Condensation reverses in high humidity

💡 Explanation

Adsorption declines from bed saturation because reduced airflow impairs the process and heat transfer becomes rate-limiting. It is the **adsorption isotherm** that becomes less steep at saturation, therefore further adsorption decreases disproportionately, rather than enabling rates changing in other ways.
