Patent attributes
A system (10) for removing water from a flue gas (12) includes a heat exchanger (16) for receiving a flow of heat exchanging fluid and the flue gas (12). An absorber (40) may have a gas inlet (41) for receiving the flue gas (12) from the heat exchanger (16), an inlet (45) for receiving a desiccant solution and a media (42) receiving the desiccant solution for providing surface area contact between the flue gas (12) and the desiccant solution A dual cooler (26) may include a first side (27) through which a heat exchanging fluid and the desiccant solution may be directed for cooling. Valving (72) may be provided for alternating a flow of the heat exchanging fluid and a flow of the desiccant solution through the first side (27) of the dual cooler (26).
