A DEHUMIDIFICATION APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF REGENERATING DESICCANT MATERIAL OF A DEHUMIDIFIER

摘要

The present invention relates to dehumidification apparatus and a method of regenerating desiccant material of a dehumidifier. The apparatus comprises a boiler and a desiccant dehumidifier, in which the boiler is coupled to the dehumidifier such that a heated air stream produced by the boiler is channelled to the dehumidifier to provide regeneration air for desiccant material of the dehumidifier. The present invention provides an advantage that low grade heat from a boiler is being used as a cheap heat source for the absorption dehumidifier. The dehumidifier may be a separate part for retrofitting to a boiler, or may alternatively be integrated with the boiler as a single unit.
