Question 211General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhat statement is true concerning a liquid desiccant cargo-hold dehumidification system?
The correct answer is A) Water absorbed in the liquid desiccant is evaporated and driven out of the desiccant by means of a heating coil located in the regeneration chamber. This is correct because in a liquid desiccant cargo-hold dehumidification system, the water absorbed by the liquid desiccant is driven out through evaporation using a heating coil in the regeneration chamber. The heat from the coil causes the water to evaporate, leaving the desiccant ready to be reused to absorb moisture from the cargo hold. The other options are incorrect because they describe the opposite process, where the water is either condensed and absorbed back into the desiccant, or a cooling coil is used instead of a heating coil in the regeneration chamber.
