Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to give a required humidity without direct contact with water by sealing water or the water solution of an inorganic or organic compound into a receiving body which is composed of a sheet which has permeability to steam partially or wholly but has no permeability to water. CONSTITUTION:A humidity regulator is constituted with a combination of water or a water solution 2 of an organic or inorganic compound which shows a certain vapor pressure, in other words an arbitary humidity and a receiving body 1 which is composed of a material which has permeability to steam. As a condition to give a certain humidity the saturated solution of an inorganic salt is most commonly used. Examples of the temperature and humidity in equilibrium of preferable inorganic salts are: LiCl, 20 deg.C, 12.4%, RH, NaCl, 20 deg.C, 75.5% RH, KeSO4, 20 deg.C, 97.2% R.H., etc. With such salts it is possible to give a required humidity without direct contact with water. By changing the kind of material which constitutes the receiving body 1 which has permeability to steam, its thickness, and contents in it, it is possible to make the humidity control which matches the purpose and use.
