A dehumidification forward passage is provided for guiding air withdrawn from a treating chamber as dehumidification-subject air A&#x2033; to an adsorption area of an adsorption/desorption type dehumidifying device. A dehumidification return passage is provided for guiding air A&#x2033; past through the adsorption area to the treating chamber. A desorption heat pump is provided for heating desorbing air HA to be flown through a desorption area of adsorption/desorption type dehumidifying device, with utilizing, as a heat sink, dehumidified air A&#x2033; which has flown through the adsorption area and sent to the dehumidification return passage. There is provided a sensible-heat heat exchanger configured to cool the dehumidification-subject air A&#x2033; present in the dehumidification forward passage through a heat exchange reaction with dehumidified air A&#x2033; present in the dehumidification return passage which has been cooled via absorption of its heat by the desorption heat pump.

Drying facility for painting

An energy and water saving pasteuriser capable of maintaining a stable temperature distribution pattern even when transfer work are interrupted during the operation, or a tunnel type refrigerator ( ) allowing hot work such as bottles and cans filled with the products sterilized at a high temperature of generally 75&deg; C. to allow temperature of generally 25&deg; C., wherein plural cooling vessels ( ) are disposed in a row from the upstream side to the downstream side so as to form a first cooling region ( ), an intermediate cooling region ( ), and a final cooling region ( ), an adsorption freezing machine ( ) is installed between the first cooling region ( ) and final cooling region ( ), and a cooling tower ( ) is installed in the intermediate cooling region ( ).

Pasteurizer

A latent heat storage apparatus is provided and a latent heat storage solution therefor stores and retrieves a cool heat substantially in or from a latent heat thereof necessary for air conditioning, cooling, refrigerating, and so forth. The latent heat storage apparatus has an aqueous solution of a plurality of inorganic salts as a latent heat storage solution in a heat storage tank, formed to retrieve a cold heat from a stored latent heat, the latent heat storage apparatus. The latent heat storage solution is formed of (N-1) kinds of inorganic salts in at least an N-component aqueous solution where N.gtoreq.3. The latent heat storage solution stores the cold heat as the latent heat thereof. The cold heat is retrievable from the stored latent heat at a desired temperature almost invariably within a range higher than the N-component eutectic point and lower than any one of binary eutectic points of salts with water. The concentration of each inorganic salt in the aqueous solution is represented in a tortuous eutectic plane including ice point of the N-component equilibria diagram, wherein the concentration range allows the cold heat to be retrieved at the specified temperature almost invariably from the latent heat of ice, binary eutectics with water and inorganic salts, or separated substances.
