The scientific principles are pretty basic. The moisture condenses just like either fog or rain forms in the atmosphere. When the dew point and the ambient temperature come near to each other you have condensation. To have fog or smog you also need a core seed for that moisture to form on hence the rocks. Any rocks would work, but the reason for ROUND smooth (river wash) is a matter of installation and the ability for the water/oil not to have a rough spot to be retained in the dehydration media (the rocks). They the rocks can also easily be cleaned in the tank with a caustic (detergent) wash.
Now the lower the temperature of the rocks the better.
So on the dehydrator tank inlet you can by fittings only you can form a auto cooling device. This is done by the inlet pipe leading to the dhyd tank be as large as possible then feeding a very small pipe into the tank this will form a Venturi effect as a carb on an engine will automatically cooling the air at that point. with a larger pipe being fitted into the tank at least 1/2 way into the tank being covered by the rocks. This will also tend to cool the rocks to further condensation.
The way this system come to be was I was asked to supply a manufacturing company that was doing a lot of glass bead blasting on their products in Portland OR which has a lot of moisture in the air all winter. The condensation of bead blasting was so bad that they could only blast for 1/2 the day. Of course they didn't have the $10000 or $20000 required to put in a full commercial system. They were using 2 40 CFMs and 1 20 CFM compressors to run their plants air system. And basically with the use of this system and a few technical enhancements not mention here were able to have zero condensation in the blasters. These units were based on 2 120 gallon tanks. Note: the bigger the stones, withen reason, the better it works.
