HUMIDITY CONTROLLER

摘要

A humidity controller rendering water supply and drainage unnecessary. The humidity controller is characterized by including a desiccant rotor of honeycomb form carrying a desiccant capable of adsorbing moisture of air and desorbing the moisture into the air, the desiccant rotor partitioned into an adsorption zone for moisture adsorption and a regeneration zone for moisture desorption, the air flowing through the adsorption zone and the air flowing through the regeneration zone being in substantially countercurrent relationship; a refrigeration cycle consisting of a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser; a first air channel for causing the air introduced in system to flow to the evaporator of the refrigeration cycle so as to perform cooling and dehumidification and thus recover moisture from the air and subsequently flow to the adsorption zone of the desiccant rotor so as to perform adsorption and dehumidification; and a second air channel for causing the air introduced in system to flow to the condenser of the refrigeration cycle so as to heat the same and subsequently flow to the regeneration zone of the desiccant rotor so as to perform desorption and humidification, the resultant air loaded with the moisture recovered in the first air channel to thereby perform further humidification.
