I do know that when I lived in the Middle East and we spent 99% of our time in serious air conditioning, I used to dry my clothes by hanging them on a large rack and turning the thermostat right down before I left for work(The chilled water for the A/C was included in our rent package). By the time I got home from work they were nicely dried. The room was generally about 16C.
The theory is certainly sound. The more you remove water from the air, the more it will suck out of whatever it can get into to try and compensate.
