2. Description of the Related Art An air cooling device using a hygroscopic agent, a so-called desiccant cooler, is constructed so that a rotary hygroscopic material filled with a hygroscopic agent is rotated across both sides of an outside air introducing passage and an indoor air introducing passage. The outside air introduction passage is provided with a sensible heat exchange type air cooler and a humidification evaporation type cooler on the downstream side of the rotary hygroscopic body, and an indoor air discharge passage is provided with an air heater.

In such an air cooling device, the outdoor air that has flowed into the outside air introduction passage first passes through the moisture absorbing portion of the rotary hygroscopic body located in the outside air introduction passage, is absorbed by the moisture absorbent, and is dried. At this time, the temperature of the hygroscopic agent rises due to the heat of adsorption, and therefore the temperature of the air also rises. Therefore, the temperature of the air is lowered in the sensible heat exchange type air cooler, humidified and cooled in the humidification evaporative cooler, and then supplied to the room. On the other hand, the room air that has flowed into the room air outlet passage rises in temperature in the air heater and passes through the rotary moisture absorber to remove moisture absorbed from the outside air while it is located in the outside air introduction passage. After being removed from the hygroscopic agent and regenerated, it is led out of the room.

As described above, when the hygroscopic agent absorbs moisture in the air, it generates heat of adsorption and the temperature of itself rises and the temperature of the air rises. The moisture absorption performance of the agent decreases as it goes downstream of the air flow. For this reason, if the outdoor air becomes hot and humid, the amount of moisture absorption required to perform the specified air cooling will not be obtained, and the temperature of the air that has passed through the hygroscopic body will also rise, so sensible heat exchange type air cooling Condition of blowout air in a normal air conditioner even after passing through the air conditioner and the humidification evaporative cooler (outdoor air 32 ℃ DB, RH65% blowout air temperature 18-22
℃, RH50%) is difficult to meet. As described above, since the desiccant cooler cannot always exhibit a predetermined cooling performance, it has been extremely rare to use the desiccant cooler in an air conditioner such as a general building.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects. A plurality of rotary hygroscopic bodies are configured from the upstream side to the downstream side, and the hygroscopic performance of the hygroscopic agent filled in the hygroscopic parts of these rotary hygroscopic bodies is not deteriorated, while maintaining high hygroscopic performance to prevent the outdoor air Since moisture can be absorbed and dried, sufficient moisture can be absorbed and dried even when the outdoor air is in a high temperature and high humidity state. For this reason, in a conventional air cooling device using a hygroscopic agent, when the outside air is in a high temperature and humidity state, the temperature of the air supplied to the room can be cooled only up to about 25 ° C.
In the air cooling device of the present invention, it is possible to cool to a temperature of about 18 ° C. which is a supply temperature of a commonly used refrigerator such as an absorption type or an adsorption type. It can be easily performed by the rotation speed of the body, and highly efficient and energy-saving operation is possible. Therefore, while the conventional air cooling device using a hygroscopic agent is used only for auxiliary purposes, the air cooling device of the present invention is used alone as an air conditioning device for general buildings, homes, etc. It becomes possible to do. The heat of adsorption collected to maintain the hygroscopic performance of the hygroscopic agent is effectively utilized for the regeneration of the adsorbent, so the thermal efficiency is high. Therefore, it is possible to use exhaust heat or solar heat. Since it does not use a refrigerant such as CFC gas, it is effective for maintaining the global environment.
