	~~=Baics=~~		#REDIRECT [[Open Source Desiccant-Humidifier Cycle Based Liquid Chiller]]
	*OSE's Design for a [[~~Dessicant~~-Humidifier Cycle ~~Refrigeration]] based [[Hydronic Cooling]] system~~
	*May be possible to control it in a "dumb" system (ie just turn the power on/off) since the pumps would be self priming, and the fans can be turned off/on easily, and everything should be using AC power all linking to a single "power bar".

	~~=Basic Design=~~
	~~==Base/Frame==~~
	*Bolt Everything Down on Plywood?
	*Could also use PVC Piping to make tripods of sorts? (if not glued, this could allow for a portable unit of sorts?

	~~==Modular Air-~~Liquid ~~Contactor==~~
	*Essentially a 4in PVC Pipe, Filled with "Bio Balls"
	*A submersible pump is in a sump at the base of the tower
	*A y fitting is used to attach a fan allowing for forced counterflow air
	*The return hose from the submersible pump is placed near the top, amongst some bioballs
	*The hose is then covered to stop mist/salt dust from escaping the top with the gas stream

	~~==Liquid Heat Exchanger==~~
	*Exchanges The "Closed Loop" liquid dessicant with the "Open Loop" humidifier-cooler, as well as with the final [[Hydronic Cooling System]]

	~~=BOM=~~
	~~==Column Packing==~~
	*Should be simpler than a [[Spray Tower]] system due to it's "open" nature (even if in a sealed+clean container, it doesn't have a sealed pressurized liquid tube)
	*[[Bioballs]] would work and are inexpensive
	*[[Stainless Steel Scrubbers]] based packing would work as well (would a conductive packing offer any advantages over thermally insulative plastic? )

	~~==Fans==~~
	*[[Inline Fans]] may work, but the added pressure of a centrifugal fan should help with "pushing the air through the packed column?"
	*This ties into the spray tower vs packed column issue

	~~==Power Distribution==~~
	*The fans will run on AC power, so a "power bar" style surge protector should suffice

	~~==Pumps==~~
	*"Fountain Pumps" usually go for ~20-50 usd each (need to determine [[GPH]] flow needed/diminishing returns on higher flow?)

	~~==PVC Pipe==~~
	*4in PVC Pipe seems like the largest size at the local "Home Depot" store

	~~==PVC Pipe Fittings==~~
	*Will need a Y fitting at the base to have the sump seperated from the air inlet
	*Also want caps for the sump
	*Any fittings for the tops?
