Abstract:
A method of altering the humidity level of a passenger cabin of a motorized vehicle, comprising the steps of:(a) providing a desiccant based moisture collection means for collecting moisture from air;(b) positioning the moisture collection means in the path of an air stream;(c) providing a heat source capable of emitting heat sufficient to evaporate moisture from the moisture collection means;(d) positioning the moisture collection means in communication with the heat source to evaporate the moisture collected by the moisture collection means into an air stream;(e) decreasing the humidity level of the passenger cabin of the motorized vehicle by directing a stream of air through the moisture collection means and into the passenger cabin, wherein a temperature of the stream of air is low enough that the moisture collection means collects moisture from the stream of air.
