Peacmar,

Here's an idea for you. Since you have a high-grade heat source, you could run a regenerator basically for free. Just run the dehumidifier as a traditional evap-pad cooler, which would dry the air with the brine solution. Either tap the pump outlet so that a percentage of the brine went through the regenerator and back into the sump, or gravity feed an overflow tube to the heat source where the hot brine could evaporate. As long as the heat source was active, the unit would move lots of water out of the airstream. If the air needs to be drier, just add more Damp-rid to the sump. At a certain point, you would never need to add more salt!

U CAN DU IT!
