Abstract
A humidifying device includes an air inlet, an internal air passage through which air taken in from the air inlet passes, a first thermometer that measures a temperature of the air taken in from the air inlet, a first hygrometer that measures a humidity of the air taken in from the air inlet, a cooler installed in a path of the internal air passage, and a cooling control unit that controls the cooler. The cooling control unit changes a cooling intensity of the cooler in a case where values measured by the first thermometer and the first hygrometer are out of a predetermined range.
Claims13
A humidifying device comprising:
- a first thermometer configured to measure a temperature inside the humidifying device;
- a first hygrometer configured to measure a humidity inside the humidifying device;
- an air inlet;
- an internal air passage through which air taken in from the air inlet passes;
- an air outlet from which the air that has passed through the internal air passage is discharged;
- a cooler installed in a path of the internal air passage;
- and
- a cooling control unit that controls the cooler, wherein
- the cooling control unit changes a cooling intensity of the cooler in a case where values measured by the first thermometer and the first hygrometer are out of a predetermined range.
A humidifying method comprising:
- a first step of measuring a temperature by a first thermometer installed in a humidifying device;
- a second step of measuring a humidity by a first hygrometer installed in the humidifying device;
- a third step of determining whether the temperature measured by the first thermometer and the humidity measured by the first hygrometer are within a predetermined range;
- and
- a fourth step of controlling intensity of a cooler installed in a path between an air inlet and an air outlet, wherein
- in the fourth step, different cooling intensities are set for the cooler in a case where it is determined that the temperature and the humidity are within the predetermined range in the third step and in a case where it is determined that the temperature and the humidity are out of the predetermined range in the third step.
