The question here then George, would be rate of condensation vs rate of absorption for the chemical. Perhaps data alone can answer this or testing may be required.

The sodium polyacrylate would work wonders in a filter situation (I.E. made part of a normal air filter device) but if you're going to build a purpose built dehumidifier, then all you need to do is chill the surfaces you want to have condensation and then capture the water resulting from that in a well later. Again, it wouldn't have to be as powerful as an air conditioning unit, just cooling enough to keep it's internal condensation catalyst surfaces cool.George H. Slaterpryce III www.captovis.com
