However, the dehumidifier requires a separate desiccant dehumidifying unit and a heater, and has a very complicated structure.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is that the evaporator of the refrigeration cycle and the first heat pipe heat exchanger are heat exchanged, the first heat pipe heat exchanger is cooled, the radiator and the second heat pipe heat exchanger are heat exchanged, and the second heat pipe heat exchanger is heated, It is to provide a dehumidifier capable of lowering the temperature and humidity of the air discharged while the air introduced into the middle compartment of the main body case passes through the first heat pipe heat exchanger and the second heat pipe heat exchanger in order.

Dehumidifier according to the present invention for achieving the above object is divided into the upper compartment, the middle compartment and the lower compartment by the upper compartment and the lower septum, the evaporator and the compressor is arranged in the upper compartment, the radiator in the lower compartment Inlet and outlet are formed in the intermediate compartment, the evaporator is heat exchanged with the heating portion of the first heat pipe heat exchanger, the heat dissipation portion of the first heat pipe heat exchanger is disposed in the intermediate compartment, and the radiator is the second heat pipe Heat-exchanged with the heating portion of the heat exchanger, the heat dissipation portion of the second heat pipe heat exchanger is disposed in the intermediate compartment, so that the air introduced into the inlet by the fan is the heat dissipation portion and the second heat pipe heat exchanger of the first heat pipe heat exchanger. After passing through the radiator in order, it is discharged through the outlet, and the refrigerant circulates the compressor, radiator, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator It is characterized by.

As a result, the dehumidifier according to the present invention does not require a separate electric heater, a dehumidification rotor, etc., so that the energy used can be reduced, and the humidity can be reduced to 40% or less in 20 ° C air without complicated structure. It has an effect.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the dehumidifier according to the present invention is divided into an upper compartment 13, an intermediate compartment 14, and a lower compartment 15 by the upper case 11 and the lower diaphragm 12. And an evaporator 25 and a compressor 21 in the upper compartment 13, a radiator 22 in the lower compartment 15, an inlet 16 and an outlet 17 in the intermediate compartment 14. Is formed, the evaporator 25 is heat-exchanged with the heating part 31 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger 30, and the heat dissipation part 32 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger 30 is connected to the intermediate compartment 14. The heat dissipator 22 is heat-exchanged with the heating part 41 of the second heat pipe heat exchanger 40, and the heat dissipation part 42 of the second heat pipe heat exchanger 40 is disposed in the intermediate compartment 14. The air introduced into the inlet 16 by the fan (not shown) is radiated by the heat dissipation unit 32 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger 30 and the heat dissipation unit 42 of the second heat pipe heat exchanger 40. Passed in order) , It is discharged through the discharge port 17, thereby circulating the refrigerant compressor 21, a radiator 22, a condenser 23, an expansion valve 24 and evaporator 25.

The condenser 23 is disposed separately from the main body case 10 by the outdoor unit, and the refrigerant circulates through the compressor 21, the radiator 22, the condenser 23, the expansion valve 24, and the evaporator 25. Cycle structures and components are already known and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted herein.

However, a drain pipe (not shown) is mounted at a lower end of the heat dissipation unit 32 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger 30 so that the condensed water condensed in the heat dissipation unit 32 is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe.

In the dehumidifier according to the present invention configured as described above, when the refrigerant circulates through the compressor 21, the radiator 22, the condenser 23, the expansion valve 24, and the evaporator 25, the coolant is radiated to the evaporator 25. Cooling heat is radiated by the heat radiating part 32 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger 30, and radiating heat by the radiator 22 by cooling the heating part 31 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger 30 by cold heat. The heating part 41 of the 2nd heat pipe heat exchanger 40 is heated by heat, and heat is radiated to the heat radiating part 42 of the 2nd heat pipe heat exchanger 40, and a fan (not shown) The outside air (for example, temperature 30 ° C / humidity 80%) is introduced into the intermediate compartment 14 through the inlet port 16, and passes through the heat radiating portion 32 of the first heat pipe heat exchanger (30) During the process, the temperature and humidity are lowered by cold cooling heat, and in the process of passing through the heat radiating part 42 of the second heat pipe heat exchanger 40.
