Classification: CPC F  B | IPC F

Claim 24:
25. A method comprising:
operating the system of claim 19 in (A) adsorption mode to remove water from an air stream (B) regeneration mode to release adsorbed water,
wherein the adsorption mode comprises contacting the air stream with the first regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material at a first pressure to adsorb water from the air stream and transferring heat from the first regenerable nanostructured porous material to the second regenerable nanostructured porous material while the first regenerable nanostructured porous material is under the first pressure; and
the regeneration mode comprises releasing water adsorbed by the first regenerable nanostructured desiccant porous material at a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure, and transferring heat to the first regenerable nanostructured porous material from the second regenerable nanostructured porous material while first regenerable nanostructured porous material is under the second pressure.
