Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #1015 (Set 21)

What common feature is found on both liquid-desiccant and solid-desiccant cargo-hold dehumidification systems?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Both systems require a continuous source of heat to drive the moisture out of the desiccant.

Both liquid and solid desiccant marine cargo-hold dehumidification systems rely on a continuous application of thermal energy, or reactivation heat, to drive absorbed moisture out of the desiccant material and overboard.
