desiccant

Their system converts air to water using atmospheric water generators that contain a liquid desiccant, which absorbs moisture from the air.

Separate from the recalled Takata inflators are about 30 million that contain a moisture-absorbing chemical called a desiccant that is meant to keep the ammonium nitrate dry and stable.

“These restrictions include a prohibition of pre-harvest use as a desiccant and the need for certain measures to protect non-target organisms,” it said in a statement.

The liquid salt desiccant then runs through a heat pump system to be recharged.

The 30 million vehicles that are part of the 2021 investigation have inflators with a "desiccant" or drying agent.
