Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a device capable of executing humidification as well in addition to dehumidification by controlling the supply directions of currents to electronic cooling elements by means of an energization control section so as to act an outer heat transmitting body as a radiator and an inner heat transmitting body as a cooling body and to evaporate the moisture condensed at the cooling body by heat of this radiator. CONSTITUTION:A switch section 9 is first operated to instruct the humidification to the energization control section 8 when the humidification is needed. The energization control section 8, then, controls the supply directions of the currents to the electronic cooling elements 1-1, 1-2 to act the one surface 1-2a of the element 1-1 and the other surfaces 1-1b of the element 1-2 as a heat absorbing surface and the other surface 1-2b of the element 1-2 and the one surfaces 1-1a of the element 1-2 as a heat generating surface. As a result, the heat transmitting bodies 2-1 and 2-3 act as radiators and the heat transmitting body 2-2 acts as the cooling body. The moisture condensed and dropped onto the cooling body 2-2 is introduced from a drain path 3-2 to a water receiver 7, where the moisture is evaporated by the heat of the radiator 2-1 to steam. The inside of a vessel 6 is humidified by this steam.
