Abstract
This technology provides a way to reduce power consumption for dehumidification. [Solution] A liquid dehumidifying material capable of absorbing or releasing moisture to the air flowing inside the housing 10 circulates in the flow path 20. The dehumidifying section 22 is located on the flow path 20 and releases moisture from the liquid dehumidifying material to the air introduced from the intake port 12. The condensation water recovery section 40 recovers at least a portion of the moisture contained in the air that has flowed through the dehumidifying section 22 as condensation water. The dehumidifying section 28 is located on the flow path 20 and absorbs any remaining moisture in the air that has flowed through the condensation water recovery section 40. The heat exchange section 24 is located on the flow path 20 and performs heat exchange between the liquid dehumidifying material that has flowed through the dehumidifying section 28 and the liquid dehumidifying material that has flowed through the dehumidifying section 22. The liquid dehumidifying material circulates through the dehumidifying section 22 and the dehumidifying section 28 located on the flow path 20, thereby moving moisture from the dehumidifying section 28 to the dehumidifying section 22.
