Abstract

A dehumidifier system and device for maintaining a dry air environment in enclosures by extracting the water to outside the enclosure. The dehumidifier device comprises a condensation unit, typically a thermoelectric clement with a moisture collector, and a sealed pump, such as peristaltic pump, which pumps the condensed humidity out of the sealed enclosure, yet maintains the enclosure seal. The system is provided with a controller which alternately activates the thermoelectric element and the pump, in at least one mode: continuous, periodical, and programmable utilizing a humidity / relative humidity sensor. Optionally, in large-volume enclosures and containers, a fan assembly is connected to the controller so as to provide for rapid circulation of the air and removal of moisture.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to dehumidifier systems and devices, and more particularly to a dehumidifier system device and method for active water extraction from small enclosures and containers to a space external thereto.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Dehumidifier systems and devices are in widespread use today, especially in buildings, storage centers, and other sites where active central-air conditioning systems are installed. Gas-heated systems are also common in homes and offices and in places where the undesirable effect of the drying of the heated air results in loss of beneficial levels of humidity needed for good health. Most such devices and systems are large and thus not well-suited for dehumidification of small enclosures and containers.

[0003] For these latter applications, a passive system is generally employed utilizing chemicals in powder or gel form, such as silica-gel or other hydrophobic materials which are introduced to ab...
