Abstract
A dehumidifying apparatus includes first, second, and third heat exchangers; moisture adsorbing material; a fan to force air through the first heat exchanger, the moisture adsorbing material, the second heat exchanger, and the third heat exchanger; a compressor having a discharge side connected to the third heat exchanger; and an expansion valve configured to reduce the pressure of a refrigerant condensed by the first heat exchanger or the second heat exchanger. The third heat exchanger has a fin pitch smaller than a fin pitch of the first heat exchanger and a fin pitch of the second heat exchanger. The third heat exchanger is smaller than the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. This arrangement provides a small, low-cost dehumidifying apparatus.
