This invention provides a dehumidification
system that can stably control the
dew point in a low-
dew-point room based on weather conditions. [Solution] The dehumidification
system estimates the predicted value of the outside air
dew point at a predetermined date and time in the future based on weather forecast data. The dehumidification
system also estimates the supply air
inlet temperature, which indicates the temperature at the inlet of the supply air area, and the supply air inlet absolute
humidity, which indicates the absolute
humidity at the inlet of the supply air area, based on the inlet conditions of the supply air area. Then, based on the predicted value of the outside air
dew point, the supply air
inlet temperature, and the supply air inlet absolute
humidity, the dehumidification system calculates the regeneration inlet target temperature, which indicates the target temperature at the inlet of the regeneration area at a predetermined date and time in the future. After calculating the regeneration inlet target temperature, the dehumidification system performs at least one of the following actions to bring the temperature of the regeneration heater closer to the regeneration inlet target temperature:
temperature control of the regeneration heater,
airflow control of the first fan installed on the inlet side of the supply air area in the first duct, and
airflow control of the second fan installed on the outlet side of the regeneration area in the second duct.
