An air conditioning and dehumidifier system (310) comprising: an air conditioner (312) comprising a cooling unit, a first inlet (316) to the cooling unit drawing air from a controlled area (314); a second inlet (338) to the cooling unit drawing fresh air firm outside the area (314); an outlet (324)

An air conditioning and dehumidifier system (310) comprising: an air conditioner (312) comprising a cooling unit, a first inlet (316) to the cooling unit drawing air from a controlled area (314); a second inlet (338) to the cooling unit drawing fresh air firm outside the area (314); an outlet (324) to the area (314); a condenser (328) with an air inlet (330) into which relatively cool outside air is drawn; and a heated air outlet (334) from the condenser (328); a dehumidifying unit (342) utilizing liquid desiccant, comprising a drying unit (344) having a wet air inlet (346) and dry air outlet (348); a regenerator unit (350); a hot air inlet (352); a wet air outlet (354); and a heat pump that transfers heat from relatively cooler liquid desiccant to relatively warmer liquid desiccant; a conduit connecting the heated air outlet (334) of the air conditioner (312) to the hot air inlet (352) of the dehumidifying unit (342); and a conduit (349) connecting the dry air outlet (348) of the dehumidifying unit (342) to the second inlet (338) of the air conditioner (312).

1. A dehumidifier system comprising:a liquid desiccant in two reservoirs, one of which contains a higher desiccant concentration than the other; a dehumidifier unit into which moist air is introduced and from which less moist air is removed after dehumidification by liquid desiccant transferred thereto; a regenerator unit which receives desiccant solution that has absorbed from the moist air and removes moisture from it; and a passageway connecting the reservoirs, via which passageway, during steady state operation of the dehumidifier, there is a net flow of moisture from the reservoir having the lower desiccant concentration to the other reservoir without there being a net flow of desiccant ions through the passageway.
