Patent attributes
Disclosed is a humidity control device which is provided with an adsorptive element (81, 82) having a humidity control passageway (85) capable of adsorption of moisture from a first air stream and of release of moisture to a second air stream, and which provides an air stream, the humidity of which is conditioned in the adsorptive element (81, 82), to an indoor space. In the humidity control device, the adsorptive element (81, 82) is provided with an auxiliary passageway (86) through which a heating fluid flows when the adsorptive element (81, 82) is regenerated by releasing moisture to a second air stream from the humidity control passageway (85). As a result, during regeneration of the adsorptive element (81, 82) by releasing moisture to a second air stream, the amount of release moisture is increased, thereby enhancing the device performance.
