<br/><br/> A small experimental absorber using calcium chloride as liquid  desiccant has been constructed and effectively operated as a first step towards the development of a solar dehumidification system. The system is simple, and little electrical power is consumed in delivering air and circulating fluids. The effectiveness of the absorber is found to be 77% . The effects of solution concentration and temperature on absorption rate are discussed  The Stepwise multi-regression analysis computer programme is used to determine from the experimental results the relationships between air and  solution; and between the absorption r ate and the solution temperature at two levels of solution concentration .
