Said bidirectional fluid pumping device (123) and heat exchange device (1000) are in an integral structure or are in the separated structures;
Figure US20100018683A1-20100128-P00001
The periodic fluid direction-change operative control device (250): It is constituted by electromechanical components, solid state electronic components, or microprocessors and relevant software and operative control interfaces to operatively control the bidirectional fluid pumping device (123) for periodically changing the flow direction of the two fluids in different flow directions thereby operatively controlling the distribution status of 1) temperature difference; or 2) humidity difference; or 3) both temperature difference and humidity difference between fluids and heat exchanger (100) of heat exchange device (1000);
The timing for fluid periodic flow direction change can be 1) the open loop type operative control by presetting the direction-change period of fluid flow, or 2) the closed loop type operative control by detecting the temperature or humidity difference between fluid and heat exchanger of heat exchange device at setting locations or by simultaneously referencing the status of temperature or humidity difference values for closed loop fluid flow direction change timing operative control; or 3) randomly manual change.
