Heat-Pipe Dehumidifier Layout for Low-Power Humidity Control

The patent utilizes the phase transition of water from liquid to vapor and back to liquid through controlled evaporation and condensation processes. The dehumidifier evaporates water into the air stream and then condenses it back, leveraging latent heat of vaporization to achieve dehumidification with minimal energy input, directly resolving the contradiction between dehumidification capacity and power consumption

The system uses the latent heat released during condensation to pre-cool incoming air and the evaporation process to cool the condensation surface, creating a self-sustaining thermal cycle. This self-service mechanism reduces the need for external power input while maintaining high dehumidification capacity, addressing both power consumption and efficiency concerns

The patent combines evaporative cooling, condensation, and latent heat recovery into a single integrated dehumidification system. By merging these processes, the system achieves high cooling capacity through the amplification of latent heat effects while maintaining low power consumption, resolving the contradiction between cooling capacity and power usage

The system leverages the phase transition of water during evaporation and condensation to amplify cooling effects. The latent heat absorbed during evaporation and released during condensation creates a thermal amplification effect that significantly increases cooling capacity without proportionally increasing power consumption
