← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when water ingresses into liquid desiccant dehumidifier during silica gel regeneration phase?
A)Reduced dehumidification capacity✓
B)Increased desiccant viscosity rapidly
C)Accelerated silica gel thermal degradation
D)Elevated corrosion rates in the housing
💡 Explanation
When water ingresses, the absorption mechanism diminishes causing a decrease of the vapor pressure gradient between outside air and the absorbent, reducing available capacity because it lowers overall desiccant concentration. Therefore, dehumidification capability suffers, rather than viscosity change, degradation or accelerated chamber related corrosion, given specific mechanisms inherent dehumidification process.
