The invention relates to a device and a method for dehumidifying and control of humidity inside an enclosure comprising electrical equipment. The device comprises a heating element located to be in contact with the ambient air of the exterior of the enclosure and a cooling element located to be in contact with the ambient air of the interior of the enclosure. Dew condensed at the cooling element is guided to the heating element so that humidity from the air, condensed at the cooling element, may be transported to the heating element to be vaporised wherein the water guiding means comprises a capillary structure. In still another aspect of the invention, the functionality of the heating and cooling elements may be switched so as to reverse the flow of water and provide a humidity control arrangement.
A dehumidifier for an enclosure comprising electrical equipment, said dehumidifier comprising a heating element and a cooling element, said cooling element located to be in contact with the ambient air of the interior of the enclosure and said heating element located to be in contact with the ambient air of the exterior of the enclosure, said dehumidifier further provided with water guiding means which guides dew condensed at the cooling element to the heating element so that humidity from the air, condensed at the cooling element, may be transported to the heating element to be vaporised wherein the water guiding means comprises a capillary structure.
A humidity control process for an enclosure comprising electrical equipment, said humidity control process comprising the steps of:
