Not a practical solution for this problem... How about a repetitive partial vacuum and a source of dry air, eg a box full of desiccant bags? How many times do we have to squeeze a bellows to remove 5% of the air from a window cavity, with a check valve and a vacuum breaker that allow dry air to replace expelled air when the bellows is released, if we want to lower the cavity dew point from 50 to 10 F?
