Description

本発明は、除湿装置に関し、より詳しくは、低消費電力の除湿ローター式除湿装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a dehumidifying device, and more particularly to a low power consumption dehumidifying rotor type dehumidifying device.

従来より、冷媒を圧縮機により圧縮するという特性を利用して除湿を行う除湿装置があった。その除湿の原理は、空気をファンによって除湿装置内の蒸発器に導入する。蒸発器の温度が極めて低い(約5℃)ため、空気中の水分は蒸発器上の蛇行管に水滴化してしまう現象があり、これがいわゆる低温除湿である。   Conventionally, there has been a dehumidifying device that performs dehumidification by utilizing a characteristic that a refrigerant is compressed by a compressor. The principle of dehumidification is that air is introduced into an evaporator in a dehumidifier by a fan. Since the temperature of the evaporator is extremely low (about 5 ° C.), there is a phenomenon that moisture in the air forms water droplets in the meandering tube on the evaporator, which is so-called low temperature dehumidification.

ただし、除湿の能力は空気の温度及び蛇行管の表面温度に大いに依存しているため、冬又は夜に温度が低い場合は、除湿能力が大幅に低下することによって除湿効率が低下し、それに伴って消費電力が増大することがある。   However, since the dehumidifying capacity greatly depends on the air temperature and the surface temperature of the meandering tube, when the temperature is low in winter or at night, the dehumidifying efficiency is lowered by the drastic reduction of the dehumidifying capacity. Power consumption may increase.

ところで、除湿ローター式の除湿装置としては、空気の湿度を速やかに、簡単でかつ効果的に低減させることが可能であり、低温低湿等の場合にその他の除湿方法を利用する等により解決できない除湿領域を効果的に実現することができる。   By the way, as a dehumidifying rotor type dehumidifying device, it is possible to quickly and easily reduce the humidity of air, and dehumidifying that cannot be solved by using other dehumidifying methods in the case of low temperature and low humidity, etc. The area can be effectively realized.

その除湿原理は、除湿ローターの吸湿材質(例えば多孔性を有するシリカゲル又はゼオライト)を利用し、除湿ローターを仕切り板により除湿領域と再生領域とに区分させることにより、空気中の水分を物理的に該吸湿材質上に吸着させ、再生領域において吸湿材質上に吸着された水分を気化させ、高温高湿の空気を交流式熱交換器入り口で形成させ、室内の冷湿空気によって温度下降された熱交換器を通過する際に、露点の差異により水として凝縮され排出される。また、組み合わせ処理が行われると、好ましい空気露点が−40℃にも達することが可能であるために、非常に注目されている。   The dehumidification principle uses the moisture absorbing material of the dehumidification rotor (for example, porous silica gel or zeolite), and physically separates the moisture in the air by dividing the dehumidification rotor into a dehumidification region and a regeneration region by a partition plate. Heat adsorbed on the hygroscopic material, vaporizes the water adsorbed on the hygroscopic material in the regeneration region, forms high-temperature and high-humidity air at the inlet of the AC heat exchanger, and the temperature is lowered by the cold air in the room As it passes through the exchanger, it is condensed and discharged as water due to the difference in dew point. Moreover, when a combination process is performed, since a preferable air dew point can reach to -40 degreeC, it attracts much attention.

図1は、従来の除湿ローター式除湿装置が空気の除湿を行うことを模式的に示した図である。図1に示すように、その本体100内に熱交換器10、除湿ローター12、除湿ファン14、電熱器16、再生ファン18等の部材が設けられており、除湿ローター12の一側には除湿領域12A及び再生領域12Bを有し、駆動装置12Cにより除湿ローター12の回転を駆動させる。   FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing that a conventional dehumidifying rotor type dehumidifying device dehumidifies air. As shown in FIG. 1, members such as a heat exchanger 10, a dehumidifying rotor 12, a dehumidifying fan 14, an electric heater 16, and a regeneration fan 18 are provided in the main body 100, and a dehumidifying rotor 12 is disposed on one side. It has area | region 12A and the reproduction | regeneration area | region 12B, and drives rotation of the dehumidification rotor 12 with the drive device 12C.

上記の空気の除湿を行う作動としては、まず、本体100の外部から導入された外部の湿り空気A1(温度が約21.5℃で、相対湿度が31%である)を熱交換器10により高温の湿り空気(温度が約29.9℃)に熱交換させ、空気中の水分を除湿ローター12の除湿領域12Aに吸着させ、水分が吸着された乾燥空気A3(温度が約39℃)を除湿ファン14により抽出することにより、空気の除湿機能を実現するとともに、除湿ローター12の回転を駆動装置12Cにより駆動させることにより水分が吸着された除湿ローター12の領域(即ち元除湿領域12Aに位置している領域)を再生領域12Bに移動させて水分の加熱脱着処理を行う。   As an operation for dehumidifying the air described above, first, external heat air A1 (temperature is about 21.5 ° C. and relative humidity is 31%) introduced from the outside of the main body 100 is transferred by the heat exchanger 10. Heat exchange is performed with high-temperature humid air (temperature is about 29.9 ° C.), moisture in the air is adsorbed to the dehumidification region 12A of the dehumidification rotor 12, and dry air A3 (temperature is about 39 ° C.) on which moisture is adsorbed. Extraction by the dehumidifying fan 14 realizes a dehumidifying function of air, and the rotation of the dehumidifying rotor 12 is driven by the driving device 12C so that the area of the dehumidifying rotor 12 in which moisture is adsorbed (that is, located in the original dehumidifying area 12A) The area is moved to the regeneration area 12B, and moisture is heated and desorbed.

再生領域12Bに対して、まず流路中の相対湿度が20%である再生空気B1を電熱器16により110℃以上に加熱し、該再生用の高熱空気B2を除湿ローター12の再生領域12Bに流し、その中の水分を脱着してなる湿熱の再生空気B3(温度が約59℃で相対湿度が100%である)を再生ファン18により排出することにより再生空気B3をパイプによって熱交換器10に導引させ、水分の凝縮を行ない、凝縮された水分を熱交換器10における流路により除湿装置底部の水コレクターに流れ、水分の収集を行う。   First, the regeneration air B1 having a relative humidity of 20% in the flow path with respect to the regeneration region 12B is heated to 110 ° C. or higher by the electric heater 16, and the regeneration hot air B2 is supplied to the regeneration region 12B of the dehumidifying rotor 12. The regenerative air B3 (with a temperature of about 59 ° C. and a relative humidity of 100%) is discharged by the regenerative fan 18 by flowing and dehumidifying the moisture therein, and the regenerative air B3 is exhausted by a pipe through the heat exchanger 10. Then, the moisture is condensed, and the condensed moisture flows to the water collector at the bottom of the dehumidifier through the flow path in the heat exchanger 10 to collect the moisture.

熱交換器10により熱交換され放出された空気B4(温度が約45℃で相対湿度が100%である)を電熱器16により約110℃の空気B1に加熱し、除湿ローター12に付着された水分を除去する。このように除湿ローター12の再生空気循環領域より二次凝結熱(即ち空気中の水分子が除湿ローター12の除湿領域12Aにおいて水滴化して、水滴を除湿ローター12の再生領域12Bにおいて蒸発させた後、熱交換器10により水滴として凝縮させ排出する)を放出する。   The air B4 (the temperature is about 45 ° C. and the relative humidity is 100%) discharged by heat exchange by the heat exchanger 10 is heated to the air B1 of about 10 ° C. by the electric heater 16, and is attached to the dehumidifying rotor 12. Remove moisture. In this way, after the secondary condensation heat (that is, water molecules in the air form water droplets in the dehumidification region 12A of the dehumidification rotor 12) from the regeneration air circulation region of the dehumidification rotor 12, the water droplets are evaporated in the regeneration region 12B of the dehumidification rotor 12 The water is condensed and discharged as water droplets by the heat exchanger 10.

従って1リットルの水分を除湿するには1リットルの水の凝結熱が2回も必要となる。この部分の熱損失は電熱器16の加熱、即ち45℃を110℃に加熱するための電力エネルギーにより補足されなければならない。現在の除湿装置としては、その消費電力が約670W/hrであり、そのうち約600Wの消費電力が電熱器により生じたものであるため、空気除湿に必要な消費電力が大幅に増大する。従って、現在の除湿ローター式除湿装置は依然として高消費電力の商品である。   Therefore, in order to dehumidify 1 liter of water, the condensation heat of 1 liter of water is required twice. This part of the heat loss must be supplemented by the heating of the electric heater 16, i.e. the power energy for heating 45 ° C to 110 ° C. As for the current dehumidifying device, the power consumption is about 670 W / hr, of which about 600 W is generated by the electric heater, so that the power consumption required for air dehumidification is greatly increased. Therefore, the current dehumidification rotor type dehumidifier is still a product with high power consumption.

従って、消費電力を低減させるための低消費電力の除湿装置を提供することは、業界で極めて解決すべき課題となっている。   Therefore, providing a low power consumption dehumidifying device for reducing power consumption is a problem to be solved in the industry.

そこで、以上のとおりの事情に鑑み、本発明は、消費電力を低減させるための低消費電力の除湿装置を提供することを課題とする。   Therefore, in view of the circumstances as described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a low power consumption dehumidifier for reducing power consumption.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a first embodiment of a low power consumption dehumidifier according to the present invention. In order to make the present invention easier to understand, in FIG. 2, the drawings will be described by way of example in which the heat conducting member is composed of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), but the present invention is limited by these drawings. is not. As shown in FIG. 2, the low power consumption dehumidifying apparatus according to the present invention includes a main body 200, a dehumidifying rotor 20, thermoelectric coolers 22 and 24 (that is, a heat conducting member), and an electric heater 23, and the thermoelectric cooler. Each of 22 and 24 has a cooling side 221 and 241 and a heating side 222 and 242.

具体的には、熱電クーラー22、24はP型、N型の半導体ダイがP型及びN型の半導体素子に相互に配列されてなるものである。P型とN型の半導体素子との間は一般の導体により完全な回路として接続されてなり、ペルチェ効果(Peltier Effect)及びゼーベック効果(Seebeck Effect)に基づく電流によって生じる温度差又は温度差によって生じた電流の物理現象によって、冷却側221、241と加熱側222、242とが相互に熱交換することである。なお、この熱電クーラー22、24の作動原理は周知のものであるため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。以下、本実施例に係る除湿装置の作動原理を詳しく説明する。   Specifically, the thermoelectric coolers 22 and 24 are formed by mutually arranging P-type and N-type semiconductor dies in P-type and N-type semiconductor elements. The P-type and N-type semiconductor elements are connected as a complete circuit by a general conductor, and are generated by a temperature difference or a temperature difference caused by a current based on the Peltier effect and the Seebeck effect. That is, the cooling side 221 and 241 and the heating side 222 and 242 exchange heat with each other by the physical phenomenon of the current. Since the operation principle of the thermoelectric coolers 22 and 24 is well known, detailed description thereof is omitted here. Hereinafter, the operation principle of the dehumidifying apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

本体200の内部には第1の流路(例えば矢印A1’ないしA3’の表記を参照)及び第2の流路(矢印B1’ないしB4’の表記を参照)を有しており、該第1の流路が外部の湿り空気A1’を吸入し、該第2の流路に凝縮領域B3’、B4’及び加熱領域B1’、B2’を有している。   The main body 200 has a first channel (see, for example, the notation of arrows A1 ′ to A3 ′) and a second channel (see the notation of arrows B1 ′ to B4 ′). One flow path sucks external humid air A1 ′, and the second flow path has condensation regions B3 ′ and B4 ′ and heating regions B1 ′ and B2 ′.

除湿ローター20が本体200内に設けられ、該除湿ローター20が除湿領域20A、再生領域20B及び駆動装置20Cを有し、外部湿り空気A1’が処理空気A2’の入口より除湿ローター20の除湿領域20Aに入り込んで空気中の水分の吸収を行い、乾燥空気A3’が除湿ファン14の抽出により除湿装置の外部の除湿すべき環境へ排出される。   A dehumidification rotor 20 is provided in the main body 200, the dehumidification rotor 20 has a dehumidification region 20A, a regeneration region 20B, and a drive device 20C, and the external humid air A1 ′ is dehumidified from the inlet of the processing air A2 ′. 20A enters and absorbs moisture in the air, and the dry air A3 ′ is discharged to the environment to be dehumidified outside the dehumidifier by the extraction of the dehumidifying fan 14.

そして、水分が吸着された領域を除湿ローター20を介して駆動機構20Cにより再生領域20Bに駆動して水分の加熱脱着処理を行うことで、該水分の加熱脱着処理フローにおいて熱電クーラー24の加熱側242を介して再生空気B1を湿熱空気B2’(110℃)に加熱し、湿熱空気B2’を除湿ローター20に流すことで、その中の水分が脱着されてなる湿熱空気B2’を熱電クーラー22の冷却側221により冷却させ、水分の凝縮を行なうことにより、凝結された水分を除湿装置底部の水コレクター(図示せず)に流入し、水分の収集を行い、その後、水分が脱着された空気B4’を熱電クーラー22の加熱側222により除湿ローター20の第2の側の再生領域20Bに導入し、除湿ローター20を加熱するための高温が改めて循環するように電熱器23により加熱する。   Then, the moisture adsorbing region is driven by the driving mechanism 20C through the dehumidification rotor 20 to the regeneration region 20B to perform the heat desorption processing of the moisture, whereby the heating side of the thermoelectric cooler 24 in the moisture desorption processing flow is performed. The regenerative air B1 is heated to the humid hot air B2 ′ (110 ° C.) via the 242 and the wet hot air B2 ′ is passed through the dehumidifying rotor 20 so that the wet hot air B2 ′ formed by desorption of moisture therein is converted into the thermoelectric cooler 22. The air is cooled by the cooling side 221 to condense the moisture, so that the condensed moisture flows into a water collector (not shown) at the bottom of the dehumidifying device, moisture is collected, and then the moisture is desorbed. B4 ′ is introduced into the regeneration region 20B on the second side of the dehumidification rotor 20 by the heating side 222 of the thermoelectric cooler 22, and the high temperature for heating the dehumidification rotor 20 is revised. Heated by electric heater 23 so as to circulate.

具体的には、熱電クーラー24の加熱側242の温度が約80℃〜90℃に達することが可能であるため、電熱器23が20〜30℃の消費電力増だけであれば、再生空気B2’に加熱するという要求を満たすことができるため、従来の除湿装置のように(110℃−50℃=60℃)が必要ではなくなるため、消費電力が節約される。   Specifically, since the temperature of the heating side 242 of the thermoelectric cooler 24 can reach about 80 ° C. to 90 ° C., if the electric heater 23 only increases the power consumption of 20 to 30 ° C., the regeneration air B2 Since the requirement of heating to 'can be satisfied, power consumption is saved because a conventional dehumidifier (110 ° C-50 ° C = 60 ° C) is not necessary.

(第2の実施例)
第2の実施例に係る除湿装置は上述した第1の実施例に係る除湿装置の作動原理と同様であるため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。
図3は、本発明に係る低消費電力の除湿装置の第2の実施例を模式的に示した構成図である。第2の実施例が第1の実施例と異なっている点は、第2の実施例においてさらに熱交換器21が設けられている点である。図2に示す外部湿り空気は、熱交換器21により熱交換された後、除湿ローター20の除湿領域20Aに入り込む。図2に示すように熱電クーラー22によって処理された湿熱空気を、第2の流路の凝縮領域B3’、B4’を経由して熱交換器21に導入し、冷却させることにより水分の凝結を行ない、凝結後の水分を第2の流路のB3’、B4’を経由して除湿装置の本体200の底部の水コレクター(図示せず)に流入し、水分の収集を行う。第2の実施例の除湿装置は上述した第1の実施例の除湿装置の作動原理と同様であるため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。
(Second embodiment)
Since the dehumidifying apparatus according to the second embodiment is similar to the operating principle of the dehumidifying apparatus according to the first embodiment described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.
FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a second embodiment of the low power consumption dehumidifier according to the present invention. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a heat exchanger 21 is further provided in the second embodiment. The external moist air shown in FIG. 2 enters the dehumidification area 20 </ b> A of the dehumidification rotor 20 after heat exchange by the heat exchanger 21. As shown in FIG. 2, the moisture and hot air treated by the thermoelectric cooler 22 is introduced into the heat exchanger 21 via the condensation regions B3 ′ and B4 ′ of the second flow path, and cooled to condense moisture. Then, the condensed water flows into the water collector (not shown) at the bottom of the main body 200 of the dehumidifying device via B3 ′ and B4 ′ of the second flow path to collect the water. Since the dehumidifying device of the second embodiment is the same as the operating principle of the dehumidifying device of the first embodiment described above, detailed description is omitted here.

上述したこれらの実施例のいずれにおいても、水分が脱着された再生空気を熱電クーラー24により直接加熱し、又は水分が脱着された再生空気を熱電クーラー24により加熱した後、電熱器23により加熱することにより温度が十分ある高熱空気を除湿ローター20に流すことにより水分の脱着を行うことを利用しているため、従来のように再生空気を電熱器により所定の温度に直接加熱する必要はなくなり、本発明に係る除湿装置は消費電力がより節約されるようになっている。   In any of the above-described embodiments, the regeneration air from which moisture has been desorbed is directly heated by the thermoelectric cooler 24, or the regeneration air from which moisture has been desorbed is heated by the thermoelectric cooler 24 and then heated by the electric heater 23. Therefore, it is not necessary to directly heat the regenerated air to a predetermined temperature by an electric heater as in the past, because the desorption of moisture is performed by flowing hot air having a sufficient temperature to the dehumidifying rotor 20. The dehumidifying apparatus according to the present invention is designed to save power consumption.

(第3の実施例)
図4は、本発明に係る低消費電力の除湿装置の第3の実施例を模式的に示した構成図である。図4に示すように、第3の実施例が上述した第1の実施例と異なっている点は、第3の実施例における熱伝導部材では、上述した熱電クーラー22、24が冷凍循環システムに取り替えられている点である。
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 4 is a block diagram schematically showing a third embodiment of the low power consumption dehumidifier according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above in that the thermoelectric coolers 22 and 24 described above are added to the refrigeration circulation system in the heat conduction member in the third embodiment. It has been replaced.

図4に示すように、冷凍循環システムは、圧縮機260と、第1の凝縮器261と、第2の凝縮器262と、膨張バルブ264と、蒸発器266と、前記部材の間を流れる作動流体L(例えば冷媒である)とを含む。本体300の内部にも第1の流路(矢印A1’ないしA3’の表記を参照)及び第2の流路(矢印B1’ないしB6’の表記を参照)を有しており、該第1の流路が外部の湿り空気A1’を導入し、該第2の流路に凝縮領域B3’、B4’及び加熱領域B1’、B2’、B5’、B6’を含み、除湿ローター20より第2の流路B3’、B4’に熱交換器21が設けられ、該熱交換器21が除湿ローター20の第2の流路の凝縮領域B3’、B4’と蒸発器266との間に位置している。このうち、作動流体Lは、圧縮機260、第1の凝縮器261、第2の凝縮器262、膨張バルブ264、蒸発器266を順に流れる。即ち、第1の凝縮器261が除湿ローター20の第2の流路の加熱領域B2’に近接し、第2の凝縮器262が第1の凝縮器261の下流側に位置している。以下、本実施例に係る除湿装置の除湿原理を詳しく説明する。   As shown in FIG. 4, the refrigeration circulation system includes a compressor 260, a first condenser 261, a second condenser 262, an expansion valve 264, an evaporator 266, and an operation that flows between the members. Fluid L (for example, a refrigerant). The main body 300 also has a first channel (see the notation of arrows A1 ′ to A3 ′) and a second channel (see the notation of arrows B1 ′ to B6 ′). The external flow path introduces external humid air A1 ′, and the second flow path includes condensation regions B3 ′, B4 ′ and heating regions B1 ′, B2 ′, B5 ′, B6 ′. The heat exchanger 21 is provided in the two flow paths B3 ′, B4 ′, and the heat exchanger 21 is located between the condensation areas B3 ′, B4 ′ of the second flow path of the dehumidification rotor 20 and the evaporator 266. doing. Among these, the working fluid L flows in order through the compressor 260, the first condenser 261, the second condenser 262, the expansion valve 264, and the evaporator 266. That is, the first condenser 261 is close to the heating region B <b> 2 ′ of the second flow path of the dehumidification rotor 20, and the second condenser 262 is located on the downstream side of the first condenser 261. Hereinafter, the dehumidifying principle of the dehumidifying apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

外部湿り空気A1が熱交換器21により処理された処理空気A2’は、除湿ローター20の除湿領域20Aに入り込んで空気中の水分が吸収され、その後の乾燥空気が流路(図示せず)を経由して除湿装置の外部へ排出される。除湿ローター20は駆動機構(図示せず)により水分が吸着された領域を再生領域20Bに駆動して水分の加熱脱着処理を行う。この水分の加熱脱着処理フローの最初は、再生空気を圧縮機260(高圧高温)、第1の凝縮器261により高熱空気に加熱し、高熱空気を除湿ローター20に流すことにより、その中の水分を脱着させ湿熱の再生空気B3’に形成し、該第2の流路の湿熱空気B3’を熱交換器21により冷却することにより水分の凝結B4’を行う。   The treated air A2 ′ obtained by treating the external moist air A1 with the heat exchanger 21 enters the dehumidifying region 20A of the dehumidifying rotor 20 and absorbs moisture in the air, and then the dried air passes through a flow path (not shown). It is discharged to the outside of the dehumidifier via. The dehumidification rotor 20 drives the area where moisture is adsorbed by a drive mechanism (not shown) to the regeneration area 20B to perform heat desorption processing of moisture. At the beginning of the heat desorption treatment flow of moisture, the regeneration air is heated to high-temperature air by the compressor 260 (high pressure and high temperature) and the first condenser 261, and the high-temperature air is caused to flow to the dehumidification rotor 20, whereby the moisture therein Is formed into wet regenerated air B3 ′, and the wet heat air B3 ′ in the second flow path is cooled by the heat exchanger 21, thereby condensing water B4 ′.

そして、蒸発器266を流れたことにより温度下降された後、圧縮機260により温度向上した湿り空気B5’、B6’となり、その後、第1の凝縮器261及び第2の凝縮器262をそれぞれ流れた温度差により再生空気B1’を高熱空気B2’に加熱することによりこのサイクルを繰り返す。具体的には、圧縮機260より第1の凝縮器261に流入した作動流体Lは、高温凝縮(管壁表面温度が約95℃である)となり、そして第2の凝縮器262により低温の凝縮(管壁表面温度が約50℃である)を行ない、その後、膨張バルブ264及び蒸発器266により温度下降及び圧力下降が行われた後、圧縮機260に戻って冷凍のサイクルが完成し、再生空気B1’が第1の凝縮器261を流れた場合に、高温凝縮された管壁高温により加熱を行うことができる。   Then, after the temperature is lowered by flowing through the evaporator 266, the humidified air B5 ′ and B6 ′ whose temperature has been improved by the compressor 260 is obtained, and then flows through the first condenser 261 and the second condenser 262, respectively. This cycle is repeated by heating the regeneration air B1 ′ to the hot air B2 ′ due to the difference in temperature. Specifically, the working fluid L that has flowed into the first condenser 261 from the compressor 260 becomes high-temperature condensation (the tube wall surface temperature is about 95 ° C.), and the second condenser 262 causes low-temperature condensation. (The tube wall surface temperature is about 50 ° C.), and then the temperature and pressure are reduced by the expansion valve 264 and the evaporator 266, and then the process returns to the compressor 260 to complete the refrigeration cycle. When the air B1 ′ flows through the first condenser 261, the heating can be performed by the high temperature of the tube wall condensed at high temperature.

このように電熱器23は約(110℃−90℃=20℃)の加熱電力エネルギーを供給するのみで済むため、第2の凝縮器262(110℃−50℃=60℃)を直接経由する加熱電力エネルギーに比較して、電熱器23の消費電力を比較的に減少させることができ、該冷凍システム全体のサイクルに影響することもなくなる。   Thus, since the electric heater 23 only needs to supply heating power energy of about (110 ° C.−90 ° C. = 20 ° C.), it directly passes through the second condenser 262 (110 ° C.−50 ° C. = 60 ° C.). Compared to the heating power energy, the power consumption of the electric heater 23 can be relatively reduced, and the cycle of the entire refrigeration system is not affected.

(第4の実施例)
図5は、本発明に係る低消費電力の除湿装置の第4の実施例を模式的に示した構成図である。図5に示すように、第4の実施例が上述した第3の実施例と異なっている点は、第4の実施例において蒸発器266は除湿ローターの第1の側と熱交換器21との間に位置している点である。このように構成すれば、圧縮機260に入り込む冷媒の温度が高くなり、冷媒の冷凍能力が比較的に弱くなるため、除湿装置全体の除湿量が比較的に低くなる。第4の実施例に除湿装置は上述した第3の実施例に係る除湿装置の作動原理と類似しているため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。
(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a fourth embodiment of the low power consumption dehumidifier according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment described above in that the evaporator 266 is different from the first side of the dehumidification rotor, the heat exchanger 21 and the fourth embodiment. It is a point located between. If comprised in this way, since the temperature of the refrigerant | coolant which enters into the compressor 260 will become high and the refrigerating capacity of a refrigerant | coolant will become comparatively weak, the dehumidification amount of the whole dehumidification apparatus will become comparatively low. Since the dehumidifying device in the fourth embodiment is similar to the operating principle of the dehumidifying device in the third embodiment described above, detailed description is omitted here.

(第5の実施例)
図6は、本発明に係る低消費電力の除湿装置の第5の実施例を模式的に示した構成図である。図6に示すように、第5の実施例が上述した第3及び第4の実施例と異なっている点は、第5の実施例における蒸発器266は、除湿ローター20に向で再生領域20Bの反対側の第2の流路の加熱領域B6’に位置し、第1の流路に沿って除湿ローター20より流出された乾燥空気A3’が蒸発器266を流れたことによって、乾燥空気A3’が冷凍能力の要求に応じて、適当な温度が排出される(例えば人体に適宜な温度が27℃である)。第6の実施例に係る除湿装置は上述した第3及び第4の実施例に係る除湿装置の作動原理と類似しているため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。
(Fifth embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a fifth embodiment of the low power consumption dehumidifier according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the fifth embodiment is different from the third and fourth embodiments described above in that the evaporator 266 in the fifth embodiment faces the dehumidification rotor 20 and the regeneration region 20B. The dry air A3 ′, which is located in the heating region B6 ′ of the second flow path on the opposite side of the flow path and flows out of the dehumidification rotor 20 along the first flow path, flows through the evaporator 266, so that the dry air A3 'Is discharged at an appropriate temperature according to the demand for the refrigerating capacity (for example, an appropriate temperature for the human body is 27 ° C). Since the dehumidifying apparatus according to the sixth embodiment is similar to the operating principle of the dehumidifying apparatuses according to the third and fourth embodiments described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

(第6の実施例)
図7は、本発明に係る低消費電力の除湿装置の第6の実施例を模式的に示した構成図である。図7に示すように、第6の実施例が上述した第3の実施例と異なっている点は、第6の実施例において、熱伝導部材はさらに、第2の凝縮器262と膨張バルブ264との間に設けられ、第2の流路の加熱領域B6’に位置し、かつ除湿部材に近接している第3の凝縮器263を備え、熱交換器21の設置を省略し、即ち、蒸発器266と第1の凝縮器261との間でが熱交換を直接行う点である。このように熱交換器21に何ら工夫をしなくてもよいため、電熱器23の構造を使用しなくて済む。第6の実施例に係る除湿装置は上述した第5の実施例に係る除湿装置の作動原理と類似しているため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。
(Sixth embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a sixth embodiment of the low power consumption dehumidifier according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the sixth embodiment is different from the third embodiment described above in that, in the sixth embodiment, the heat conducting member further includes the second condenser 262 and the expansion valve 264. And the third condenser 263 located in the heating region B6 ′ of the second flow path and close to the dehumidifying member, and omitting the installation of the heat exchanger 21, that is, The point is that heat exchange is directly performed between the evaporator 266 and the first condenser 261. Thus, since it is not necessary to devise any heat exchanger 21, it is not necessary to use the structure of the electric heater 23. Since the dehumidifying apparatus according to the sixth embodiment is similar to the operating principle of the dehumidifying apparatus according to the fifth embodiment described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

上述した図4ないし図7に示す除湿装置は、水分が脱着された再生空気を圧縮機261により直接加熱し、又は水分が脱着された再生空気を圧縮機261と電熱器との結合により加熱し、温度が十分ある高熱空気を除湿ローター20に流すことにより水分の脱着を行うため、従来のように再生空気を電熱器により所定の温度に直接加熱する必要はなくなり、本発明に係る除湿装置は消費電力がより節約されるようになっている。   The dehumidifying apparatus shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 described above directly heats the regenerated air from which moisture has been desorbed by the compressor 261 or heats the regenerated air from which moisture has been desorbed by the combination of the compressor 261 and an electric heater. Since dehumidification is performed by flowing hot air having a sufficient temperature to the dehumidification rotor 20, there is no need to heat the regenerated air directly to a predetermined temperature with an electric heater as in the prior art. Power consumption is more saved.

また、ここで注意すべき点は、本発明のその他の実施例においても圧縮機261を熱管に取り替えられ、即ち熱伝導部材は、凝縮側及び蒸発側を有する密閉チャンバーであって、該チャンバー内に作動流体がその間を流れた毛細構造(膨張バルブと類似している)が形成されており、該蒸発器を冷却側とし第2の流路の凝縮領域に位置し、該凝縮側を加熱側とし第2の流路の加熱領域に位置する。ただし、熱管構造は従来の部材であるため、その作動原理は上述した実施例と類似しているため、ここでは詳しい説明を省略する。   Also, it should be noted that in another embodiment of the present invention, the compressor 261 can be replaced with a heat pipe, that is, the heat conducting member is a sealed chamber having a condensing side and an evaporating side. Is formed with a capillary structure (similar to an expansion valve) between which the working fluid flows, and the evaporator serves as a cooling side and is located in the condensation region of the second flow path, and the condensation side serves as a heating side. And located in the heating region of the second flow path. However, since the heat tube structure is a conventional member, its operating principle is similar to that of the above-described embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof is omitted here.
