Claim 0:
1. A humidity management system comprising:
a regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material configured to adsorb water from an inlet stream at a first pressure and to release water when subjected to a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure, the regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material being in fluid communication with a fluid source through a fluid path through which the inlet stream passes;
a vacuum source that is in communication with the regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material; and
at least one heat transfer pipe thermally coupled to the regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material and configured to alternately remove heat from and provide heat to the regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material.
