Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
producing a first output stream from a first input stream in a liquid desiccant regenerator, the first output stream having a higher concentration of a liquid desiccant than the first input stream;
producing a second output stream from a second input stream in the liquid desiccant regenerator, the second output stream having a lower concentration of the liquid desiccant than the second input stream;
exposing an input air stream to the first output stream in an air contactor, the first output stream absorbing water from the input air stream to form at least one diluted output desiccant stream;
circulating the at least one diluted output desiccant stream back into the liquid desiccant regenerator; and
moving heat from the first output stream to the liquid desiccant regenerator via a heat pump, the heat moved to the liquid desiccant regenerator increasing an efficiency of the liquid desiccant regenerator.
