Disclosed is an air conditioning apparatus which is provided with two adsorption elements ( 81, 82 ). The air conditioning apparatus repeats in alternation an operation in which the second adsorption element ( 82 ) is regenerated and, at the same time, air is dehumidified by the first adsorption element ( 81 ), and an operation in which the first adsorption element ( 81 ) is regenerated and, at same time, air is dehumidified by the second adsorption element ( 82 ). Additionally, the air conditioning apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit performs a refrigeration cycle in which a regenerative heat exchanger ( 92 ) operates as a condenser and a first cooling heat exchanger ( 93 ) or a second cooling heat exchanger ( 94 ) operates as an evaporator. For example, air, which has robbed heat of adsorption in the first adsorption element ( 81 ), is further heated by the regenerative heat exchanger ( 92 ) and is introduced into the second adsorption element ( 82 ). Consequently, the second adsorption element ( 82 ) is regenerated. |
