[Greenbuilding] Dessicants - was Central vs window AC

[Ron Cascio]

No experience with this myself, but I've always thought this an interesting way to deal with human comfort in hot/humid climates. I've seen commercial dessicant wheels, but not ones made for residential purposes. The key (enviro wise) is how you dewater the wheel. Waste heat would seem a likely source.

  Has anyone experimented with the powder desiccants on rotation?
  Say have two trays and when one is in the house getting wet the other is outside on a south wall protected from the rain drying out.
  Would you need too much of it to make it effective, and thus render it impractical?
