Abstract:
1. A dehumidification system for removing water vapor from an airstream, comprising: at least one cooling unit configured to cool air; a plurality of dehumidification units fluidly coupled to the cooling unit, each dehumidification unit comprising a first and second channel separated by a membrane, wherein the membrane is configured to facilitate removal of water vapor from an airstream flowing through the first channel by facilitating passage of H at least one pressure increasing device configured to create a lower partial pressure of water vapor within the second channels than in the first channels, such that the H at least one condensation device configured to receive the water vapor from the at least one pressure increasing device and condense the water vapor into liquid water; and at least one water transport device configured to transport the liquid water from the at least one condensation device.
