Description

Dehumidification device

The present invention relates to a dehumidifying device, and more particularly, to a dehumidifying device using a difference in partial pressure of air and a fluid.

Conventional dehumidification is dehumidification based on a vapor compression refrigeration cycle, and a cold refrigerant is flowed through a pipe to lower the surface temperature of the pipe below the dew point temperature, thereby dehumidifying the moisture in the air by condensing it on the surface. It is applied to domestic air conditioners and dehumidifiers.

Such conventional compressive dehumidification uses dehumidification through a compressor such as an air conditioner or a refrigerator to make a high-temperature drying condition, and when the temperature of the evaporator is below 0 ° C, the dehumidification performance is deteriorated due to freezing of the cooling coil. Can not be used in the environment. In addition, it is necessary to lower the temperature below the dew point temperature to reduce the efficiency and limit the operating conditions.

In addition, in the case of conventional compressive dehumidification, there is a disadvantage that the complexity of the structure such as the evaporator, the condenser, and the compressor, the noise, the vibration, the power consumption, and the installation space are large. When the dehumidifying function in the home air conditioner is performed, the condensed water is not completely removed, but is discharged again by the air conditioner wind. Therefore, the indoor comfort is deteriorated. In the case of the domestic dehumidifier, the part corresponding to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is built in the dehumidifier Therefore, indoor comfort is deteriorated.

Various techniques for dehumidifying devices have been developed to solve these problems. For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0054723 (Application No. 10-2014-0153912, Applicant: Coway Co., Ltd.) includes a housing; A dehumidifying water reservoir configured to be removable from the housing and storing condensed water generated during the dehumidifying operation; A frame portion provided at the lower end of the dehumidifying water bottle so as to be eccentrically rotatable downward and being removable from the housing together with the dehumidifying water bottle; A bucket handle vertically movable on the frame portion; And a connection part connecting the water bottle handle and the dehumidification water bottle to each other so that the dehumidification water bottle is rotated up and down in accordance with the elevating operation of the water bottle handle.

In addition, various technologies related to the dehumidifying device are being continuously researched and developed.

FIGS. 5A and 5B are views showing the movement of air and fluid in the dehumidifier according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the movement of water vapor in the dehumidifier according to the embodiment of the present invention.

5A, 5B and 6, the dehumidifying device 10 according to the embodiment is configured such that the air A is introduced into the first dehumidifying module 100 through the first openings 112a of the first dehumidifying module 100, . In addition, the dehumidifying device 10 may allow the fluid F to flow through the third openings 216a of the second dehumidification module 200. [ According to one embodiment, the partial pressure of the air A introduced into the first dehumidifying module 100 may be higher than the partial pressure of the fluid F flowing into the second dehumidifying module 200.

The second dehumidification module 200 may include a second dehumidification module 200,

In the dehumidifying device 10, the water vapor in the air can be moved to the fluid through the separation membrane 300 by the difference in the partial pressures of the fluid and the air. Since the dehumidifying device 10 performs the dehumidifying function using the partial pressure difference, the dehumidifying function can be performed even at a low temperature.

&Quot; (3) &quot;

As can be seen in Table 3, when the temperature of the air and fluid before entering the dehumidifier is 30 ° C and 25 ° C, respectively, the relative humidity of the air before entering is increased by 5% in the range of 60% to 80% It can be seen that the partial pressure difference in the dehumidifying device increases and the dehumidifying amount linearly increases from 376.2 g / m ² h to 540.0 g / m ² h.

The temperature of the air passing through the dehumidifying device is reduced due to the heat transfer to the relatively low temperature fluid while the fluid passing through the dehumidifying device is absorbed by the absorption heat of the water vapor absorbed through the separation membrane, It can be seen that the temperature is increased due to the heat transfer to the air.

In addition, it can be seen that the sensible heat effect of the dehumidifying device is reduced from about 84% to 65% as the relative humidity increases. That is, as the relative humidity increases, the steam partial pressure of the air passing through the dehumidifier increases proportionally, and the effect of the relative humidity on the latent heat effect of the dehumidifier is very small. As a result, it can be seen that the dehumidifying device can be used in various environments.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will also be appreciated that many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
