Claim Text:
1. An air conditioning system, comprising: a liquid desiccant regenerator comprising: a dehumidification system comprising: wherein a low concentration liquid desiccant stream extends from a dehumidification system (DS) desiccant outlet to a low concentration liquid desiccant reservoir, then feeds into a desiccant regenerator (DR) desiccant inlet, wherein a high concentration liquid desiccant stream extends from a DR desiccant outlet to a high concentration liquid desiccant reservoir, then feeds into a DS desiccant inlet, wherein a carrier stream and the low concentration liquid desiccant are in contact with opposite sides of each of said at least one water vapor permeable regenerator walls, wherein the low concentration liquid desiccant is heated by heat from the heated exit stream to drive water from the low concentration liquid desiccant through each of the at least one water vapor permeable regenerator walls to the carrier stream to form a humidified carrier stream, wherein a process air stream and the high concentration liquid desiccant stream are in contact with opposite sides of the water vapor permeable dehumidifier wall, wherein moisture from said process air stream passes through the water vapor permeable dehumidifier wall to the high concentration liquid desiccant, and wherein a desiccant concentration in said high concentration liquid desiccant stream is higher than a desiccant concentration in said low concentration liquid desiccant stream.
