Abstract
Provided is a dehumidifier including an adsorption column allowing a to-be-treated gas produced by electrolysis of water to circulate therethrough so as to allow moisture in the to-be-treated gas to be adsorbed therein, wherein the adsorption column includes an adsorbent capable of adsorbing moisture, a column body having a housing region containing the adsorbent, and a heating unit arranged within the column body and capable of heating the adsorbent so as to cause desorption of the adsorbed moisture from the adsorbent, and the column body is a tube having a bent portion.
Claims5
A dehumidifier comprising:
- an adsorption column allowing at least one to-be-treated gas of hydrogen and oxygen produced by electrolysis of water to circulate therethrough so as to allow moisture in the to-be-treated gas to be adsorbed therein, wherein
- the adsorption column comprises:
- an adsorbent capable of adsorbing moisture;
- a column body having a housing region containing the adsorbent;
- and
- a heating unit arranged within the column body and capable of heating the adsorbent so as to cause desorption of the adsorbed moisture from the adsorbent,
- the column body is a tube having a bent portion, and
- the tube is a corrugated tube having a recess and a projection repeatedly formed along the circulation direction of the to-be-treated gas on its outer surface.
A method for producing a dehumidifier, the dehumidifier comprising:
- an adsorption column allowing at least one to-be-treated gas of hydrogen and oxygen produced by electrolysis of water to circulate therethrough so as to allow moisture in the to-be-treated gas to be adsorbed therein,
- the adsorption column comprising:
- an adsorbent capable of adsorbing moisture;
- a column body having a housing region containing the adsorbent;
- and
- a heating unit arranged within the column body and capable of heating the adsorbent so as to cause desorption of the adsorbed moisture from the adsorbent,
- the method comprising:
- after loading an inside of a straight tube constituting the column body with the heating unit and the adsorbent, bending the tube, so as to produce the dehumidifier including the column body formed of a tube having a bent portion,
- wherein the tube is a corrugated tube having a recess and a projection repeatedly formed along the circulation direction of the to-be-treated gas on its outer surface.
