<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an energy-saving and compact dehumidifying air conditioner. SOLUTION: This dehumidifying air conditioner has a treated air line and a regenerated air line and further a heat exchanger between the treated air with moisture adsorbed and the air to be regenerated before being dehumidified by a desiccant and heated by a heating source. The desiccant is not deliquescent, and the maximum value of the differentiated heat of adsorption when the moisture of >=20% of the maximum adsorption amount is adsorbed, is <=1.1 times as high as the heat of condensation of water. Further, when the relative adsorption amount obtd. by defining the maximum adsorption amount at 90% relative humidity as the denominator and the adsorption amount as the numerator is denoted by X, the relative humidity by P and the isotherm separation factor by R, and the function shown by X=R/(R+P-R.P) is used, the adsorption isotherm exhibiting the absorption characteristics of the desiccant lies in the area enclosed between the X-P curve at R=0.2 and the X-P curve at R=2.5 in the relative humidity range of 30% to 70%.</p> |
