Performance Efficiency
One measure of desiccant efficiency is the ratio (or percentage) of water storable in the desiccant, relative to the mass of desiccant.
Another measure is the residual relative humidity of the air or other fluid being dried.
The performance of any desiccant varies with temperature and both relative humidity and absolute humidity. To some extent, desiccant performance can be precisely described, but most commonly, the final choice of which desiccant best suits a given situation, how much of it to use, and in what form, is made based on testing and practical experience.

“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”

“I’ll take fifty percent efficiency to get one hundred percent loyalty.”
