2024-10-19 01:08:33 fourth 2024-10-19 01:21:10 firth 2024-10-19 01:26:28 neauoire: so you were saying you'd tried a simple passive desiccant cooling system 2024-10-19 01:26:46 but I wasn't clear on the flow topology of the system you were describing 2024-10-19 01:28:02 and what states the desiccant was transitioning between 2024-10-19 01:29:17 we tried a couple of things, but generally you put calcium chloride in like.. stockings 2024-10-19 01:29:48 super thin stockings in a place where the air flows, so we had some in many places, one that worked very well was by the side of a door 2024-10-19 01:30:04 everytime we'd open/close the door it would blow lots of air directly on it 2024-10-19 01:30:08 so the air flows through the stockings and gets heated and dried by the calcium chloride? 2024-10-19 01:30:17 we let the stocking drip into a bowl that was attached to the wall 2024-10-19 01:32:26 yup 2024-10-19 01:32:26 we didn't 2024-10-19 01:32:26 <8.cable.virginm.net> whats this cooling? 2024-10-19 01:32:37 I mean, it burns through the medium pretty slow 2024-10-19 01:32:52 I think we ran on a 4L bag for pretty much a year and a half 2024-10-19 01:32:58 like dehumidifying the air? 2024-10-19 01:33:01 yeah 2024-10-19 01:33:03 on the boat 2024-10-19 01:33:10 yeah. so you probably only absorbed about 3 kg of water over that year and a half 2024-10-19 01:33:21 so it makes sense that you wouldn't see much benefit 2024-10-19 01:33:33 we empty quite a lot of water 2024-10-19 01:33:42 emptied* 2024-10-19 01:33:47 and a lot of hassle. Did you ever end up with slimy calcium chloride spills? 2024-10-19 01:33:53 once 2024-10-19 01:33:59 after that we improved our system a bit 2024-10-19 01:34:01 did it damage the boat? 2024-10-19 01:34:02 regular ass dehumidifier is probably your best bet 2024-10-19 01:34:08 no, but it could have been baaaad
