Open Source Dessicant-Humidifier Cycle Based Liquid Chiller

Baics

• OSE's Design for a Dessicant-Humidifier Cycle Refrigeration based 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? )

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
