Temperature comparison inside and outside the dehumidifying device division Comparison structure
(A structure that does not attach a cooling part to the heating part of the condenser) Structure of the invention
(A structure that mounts a cooling unit in the heating section of the condenser) Condenser
Surface temperature 41.4 ℃ 34.52 ℃ Warm air temperature 47.5 ℃ 46.26 ℃

The temperature data was secured by setting the seasonal temperature in summer (27° C.) to the ambient temperature and using the presence/absence of the cooling unit 104 on the condenser 110 of FIG. 2 in the dehumidifying device 320. In this case, the condenser 110 has the same spacing between the heating fins 70 in the cooling unit 104 and the heating unit 108 of FIG. 2.

Depending on whether or not the cooling unit 104 is installed in the condenser 110 of FIG. 2, the surface temperature of the condenser 110 has a difference of about 6.0°C or higher, and the warm air temperature has a difference of about 1.0°C or higher. The temperature of the warm air directly affects the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere at the installation site of the dehumidifying device, and the temperature of the ambient atmosphere at the installation site of the dehumidifying device can be lowered by installing the cooling unit 104 in the condenser 110.

On the other hand, when the condenser 110 is replaced with one of FIGS. 3 to 8, for example, the condenser 110, 200, 240, or 280, the surface temperature of the condenser 110, 200, 240, or 280 2 may be lower than the surface temperature of the condenser 110 of FIG. 2. Because, the condenser (110, 200, 240, or 280) has a narrower gap between the heat generating fins in the cooling unit and the heating unit than the condenser 110 of FIG. 2 or cooling fins than the condenser 110 of FIG. This is because the heating path of the heating fins is further diversified by using.

Through this, the condenser 110, 200, 240, or 280 may lower the warm air temperature than the condenser 110 of FIG.
