What statement is true concerning a liquid desiccant cargo-hold dehumidification system?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Water absorbed in the liquid desiccant is evaporated and driven out of the desiccant by means of a heating coil located in the regeneration chamber.
The regeneration chamber restores the desiccant's moisture-absorbing capacity. A heating coil raises the temperature of the diluted desiccant, which increases the vapor pressure of the absorbed water, causing it to evaporate and be driven out of the solution so the desiccant can be reused in the cycle.
