Patent ID: 7264649

Claim:
A humidity control system for controlling relative humidity within an interior space of a building comprising: (a) a water vapor absorber/desorber for reversibly absorbing water vapor from air or releasing water vapor to air; (b) a water reservoir for collecting liquid water from the absorber/desorber operably connected to the absorber/desorber; (c) a water source for supplying liquid water to the absorber/desorber operably connected to the absorber/desorber; (d) a blower for blowing air through the absorber/desorber operably connected to the absorber/desorber; (e) at least one humidity sensor for sensing relative humidity within the interior space; and (f) a controller operably connected to: (i) the absorber/desorber, (ii) the water reservoir, (iii) the water source, (iv) the blower, and (v) the at least one humidity sensor, wherein the controller is adapted to identify relative humidity from data generated by the at least one humidity sensor.
