Abstract
A heat exchanger having an extended surface plate includes a plurality of heat exchanging bodies having therein flow paths along which a heat transfer medium flows, and extended surface plates each disposed between the heat exchanging bodies and having inclined surfaces in horizontal and vertical directions. Also disclosed is a dehumidifier having the heat exchanger. Moisture in the air may be effectively absorbed by a dehumidifying liquid, and the heat exchanger may have enhanced structural strength.
Claims9
A heat exchanger having an extended surface plate, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a plurality of heat exchanging bodies having therein flow paths along which a heat transfer medium flows;
- and
- extended surface plates, each disposed to contact facing surfaces of the heat exchanging bodies, and configured to allow a dehumidifying liquid supplied between the heat exchanging bodies to flow therealong,
- wherein when a supply direction of the dehumidifying liquid is a vertical direction, the extended surface plate has a zigzag-form in the vertical direction, and has a plurality of bending portions in a horizontal direction,
- and the extended surface plate comprises at least one of a corrugated form and a zigzag form in the horizontal direction.
