Claims19
A humidity adjusting apparatus comprising:
- a dehumidifier which absorbs moisture contained in air;
- a dryer which emits moisture into the air so that the air becomes more humid;
- a barrier wall partitioning the dehumidifier from the dryer;
- first and second plate-shaped desiccants extending transverse to the barrier wall, the first plate-shaped desiccant having a first surface and the second plate-shaped desiccant having a second surface, the first and second surfaces facing each other;
- racks provided on the first and second facing surfaces;
- a pinion engaged with the racks;
- and
- a motor coupled to the pinion and configured to drive the first and second desiccants.
