Damn, i gotta stop making big posts.
Forgot to make a comment.

Dehumidifiers solve the high relative humidity (RH) problem by simply pulling the moisture out of the air.

A small fan pulls the rooms humid air into the dehumidifier and the air is passed through a cooling coil and is chilled to its dew point on a cold surface where condensation occurs, similar to a refrigerator. The condensation then is then released into a bucket or is released through a hose. The moisture reduced air is then heated back to room temperature and blown out into the room.

But. Because of the non fan setup pictured by BladeRunner, the air current formed (theory) wont maintain a very low temperature after passing through the radiator. In fact it will be cooler than ambient, but the cooling system is already cooler than ambient as it is , in particulary the blocks and tubes (due to the nature of BR setup). So no harm done there , assuming not that large detal T. It will (theory) have less RH , which is the whole point. Cooler than ambient, less RH , very low risk of condensation . In theory of course.

It's all very nice in theory but only by testing it (IMO) can be see what are the real flaws. Alot of tweaking can be done , shape , size, temperature of the chimney, etc etc etc.

Sorry about the jumps. I've got the organize my posts better. .
