Abstract
An air purifying apparatus includes a humidity controller and an intake cooling separator including one or more shafts and an outer wall. The intake cooling separator generates airflow to obtain the humidity-controlled air. The intake cooling separator swirls the obtained air around a first shaft included in the one or more shafts, thereby generating a pressure difference between air included in the obtained air and around the first shaft and air included in the obtained air and around the outer wall, and the pressure difference cools at least a part of the obtained air, and the pressure difference cools at least a part of the obtained air. The intake cooling separator performs centrifugal separation of water droplets generated from the cooled air. The one or more shafts are rotated to generate the airflow, to cause the swirl, and to perform the centrifugal separation.
