Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 4, wherein the method further comprises at least one of:
measuring an ambient condition external to the solar thermal unit;
measuring a relative humidity input to the solar thermal unit;
measuring a relative humidity output from the solar thermal unit;
determining a present water content of the first hygroscopic material based on the difference between a relative humidity input to the solar thermal unit and a relative humidity output from the solar thermal unit;
determining if a present water content of the first hygroscopic material is above a predetermined instability threshold; and
ceasing flow of the process gas through the first hygroscopic composite assembly if a present water content of the first hygroscopic material is above a predetermined instability threshold.
