PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct an energy conservation in the case of drying a washing in a bathroom by disposing a compressor at a circulation passage for directing a refrigerant from an evaporator to a condenser, and disposing a throttle adjusting valve at a circulation passage for direction of the refrigerant from the condenser to the evaporator. SOLUTION: In a refrigerant circuit, an evaporator 5 and a condenser 6 are incorporated as dehumidifying means A in a housing 4, a refrigerant circulates through channels 10, 11. The channel 10 directs the refrigerant from the evaporator 5 of the means A to the condenser 6, and a compressor 12 is disposed at the channel. Meanwhile, the channel 11 directs the refrigerant from the condenser 6 of the means A to the evaporator, where a throttle adjusting valve 14 represented by a plurality of capillary tubes 13 is disposed. The valve 14 measures a temperature in the evaporator 5 by an automatic temperature regulator (thermistor or the like) and, further measures a flow rate of the air generated by a fan 15 to regulate the tubes 13 for the purpose of optimizing conditions of the flow (pressure) of the refrigerant. |
