However, in the case of the air conditioner 600 shown in FIG. 6, it is necessary to heat the air to increase the saturated vapor pressure and to remove moisture adhering to the adsorption rotor 603. Therefore, a large amount of heat is required, a considerably high-temperature heat source is required, the amount of power is increased, and the running cost is increased. The suction rotor 603 is driven by a drive motor 606 as shown in FIG.
1 and 602, the size of the entire air flow path is determined by the shape of the suction rotor 603, which poses a problem that a great restriction is imposed on the structural design of the air conditioner.

It circulates in the first air passage 101 and the second air passage.
For convenience of description, the adsorption / desorption member 103 on the first air flow path 101 side is referred to as a first adsorption / desorption member 103a, and the adsorption / desorption member 103 on the second air flow path 102 side.
Is referred to as a second adsorption / desorption member 103b.

In the first air flow path 101, a first belt heat exchanger 106, a first heat exchanger 105, and a first blower fan 107 serving as a blower are provided. . In the second air flow path 102, a second belt heat exchanger 111, a second heat exchanger 110, and a second blower fan 112 as a blower are provided.
Further, the first and second heat exchangers 105 and 110 are disposed upstream of the first and second belt heat exchangers 106 and 111, respectively.

First and second belt heat exchangers 106, 1
Reference numeral 11 denotes pipe-shaped pipes arranged at appropriate intervals, and the belt-shaped adsorption / desorption members 103a and 103b are disposed in contact with the outer peripheral sides of the first and second belt heat exchangers 106 and 111. Have been. Note that the pipe-shaped pipes forming the first and second belt heat exchangers 106 and 111 also function as guides. Further, inside the first belt heat exchanger 106 and the first heat exchanger 105,
For example, heated water is introduced from a refrigerant supply unit (not shown). Conversely, cooling water is introduced into the second belt heat exchanger 111 and the second heat exchanger 110 from the medium supply means. As shown, the first and second blower fans 107 and 112 are connected to the first and second air passages 101 and 10.
2 is arranged to suck the air from the inlet side and send it to the outlet side.

Here, the first and second belt heat exchangers 1
06 and 111 function as a heating means or a cooling means, and the heating means or the cooling means is divided into first and second belt heat exchangers 106 and 111 and first and second heat exchangers 10 and 111.

And passes through the first adsorption / desorption member 103a. The moisture adhering to the first adsorption / desorption member 103a is released from the surface by the first belt heat exchanger 106 which is heated while being in contact with the inside of the first adsorption / desorption member 103a. The inlet air 108 heated by the first heat exchanger 105 rises in saturated steam pressure, and when the heated air in this state contacts the first adsorption / desorption member 103a, the temperature of the first adsorption / desorption member 103a further increases.

Is cooled by the heat exchanger 110. The second adsorption / desorption member 103b is cooled by the cooled second belt heat exchanger 111. Therefore, the moisture of the inlet air 113 adheres to the second adsorption / desorption member 103b, and the outlet air 1114 is sent out in a dehumidified state. The water adhering to the second adsorption / desorption member 103b moves to the first air flow path 101 side by the circulation of the adsorption / desorption member 103, and receives the above-described action. As described above, the humidified outlet air 109 is sent out from the first air passage 101 side, and the dehumidified outlet air 114 is sent out from the second air passage 102 side.

The outlet air 109 of the first air passage 101 is dehumidified and the outlet air of the second air passage 102 is dehumidified by introducing the heating water and the cooling water from the medium supply means (not shown) in reverse. The air 114 is humidified. Further, since the belt-shaped adsorption / desorption member 103 is used to make direct contact with the first and second belt heat exchangers 106 and 111, the heat transfer efficiency is high and the heat generated by the engine waste heat or solar heat is relatively high. The air conditioner 100 can be operated with hot water having a low temperature, and the cost of the heat source can be reduced.
