Rice isn’t the best desiccant around, though.

不过，大米并不是最好干燥剂。

Its approach makes use of a liquid desiccant, similar to ultra-salty brine, to remove moisture.

它方法利用类似于超盐水干燥剂来去除水分。

The remaining energy goes towards powering the heat pump that regenerates the desiccant.

剩余能量用于为再干燥剂热泵提供动力。

One way of minimising the dehumidification work an AC needs to do is to expose the incoming air to a water-absorbing substance known as a desiccant.

最大限度地减少要做除湿工作一种方法是将进入气暴露在一种称为干燥剂吸水物质中。

Though desiccants have been tried in the past, most are either limited in the amount of water they can absorb or require substantial amounts of energy to be made reusable.

尽管过去人们曾尝试使用干燥剂，但大多数干燥剂要么吸收水量有限， 要么要大量能量才能重复使用。

The system can therefore recharge the desiccant by connecting to the grid at night, when demand is lowest, and use minimal electricity to cool during the heat of the day.

因此，该系统可以在夜间（求最低时）连接到电网来给干燥剂充电，并在白天最热时候使用最少电力进行冷却。
