I agree. But if we can get the water out at room temp or slightly
above, it would save even more energy.

I like your idea though. Maybe a long coiled tube filled with
calcium chloride beads and a retention element at the end would
work. I'll bet you'd have to force the oil through with pressurized
air though to get adequate flow.
As far as lithium chloride is concerned, it would probably

that is mutually-agreed-to.
Of course they do. If the law (?) doesn't give them that
