Abstract
A dehumidifier includes a wheel-shaped desiccant, a first fan, and a second fan. The wheel-shaped desiccant is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above. The first fan is configured to generate a process airflow that flows through a first portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters a first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits a second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant, the first being opposite from the second side. The second fan is configured to generate a reactivation airflow that flows through a second portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to dry the wheel-shaped desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits the first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant.
