Abstract

A humidity control system includes three dehumidifiers. Each of the dehumidifiers alternately switches between first batch operation in which air whose moisture has been adsorbed in a first adsorption component is supplied to a room and air heated in a heat exchanger is exhausted to outside the room through a second adsorption component, and second batch operation in which air whose moisture has been adsorbed in the second adsorption component is supplied to the room and air heated in the heat exchanger is exhausted to outside the room through the first adsorption component. The system further includes: a controller allowing the switchings of the dehumidifiers to be performed at different timings; and a chamber collecting air to be supplied from the dehumidifiers to the room.

Claims2

Dependent claims

A humidity control system, comprising:

a plurality of dehumidifiers each including a casing in which air flows, two adsorption components provided in the casing and adsorbing moisture in air, and a heating mechanism provided in the casing and heating air to be supplied to the adsorption components, wherein each of the dehumidifiers alternately switches between a first operation in which air whose moisture has been adsorbed in the first adsorption component is supplied to a room and air heated in the heating mechanism is exhausted to outside the room through the second adsorption component, and a second operation in which air whose moisture has been adsorbed in the second adsorption component is supplied to the room and air heated in the heating mechanism is exhausted to outside the room through the first adsorption component;
a control mechanism configured to control the dehumidifiers such that the switchings of the respective dehumidifiers are performed at different timings;
and
an air collecting mechanism configured to collect air to be supplied from the dehumidifiers to the room.
