Abstract
A humidity controller apparatus () contains an adsorption rotor () and a heater (). A first passage () along which a first air stream flows and a second passage () along which a second air stream flows are formed in the humidity controller apparatus (). The amount of heat exchange between the first and second air streams and the amount of moisture exchange between the first and second air streams vary by adjustment to the rotating speed of the adsorption rotor (), and the humidity controller apparatus () is switched between a dehumidification operation and a humidification/heating operation. During the dehumidification operation, the rotating speed of the adsorption rotor () is set low. The first air stream is dehumidified by the adsorption rotor () and then supplied to the inside of a room. The second air stream is used for regeneration of the adsorption rotor () and then discharged to the outside of the room. During the humidification/heating operation, the rotating speed of the adsorption rotor () is set high. The first air stream receives heat and moisture from the adsorption rotor () and then is supplied to the inside of the room. The second air stream is heat/moisture-adsorbed by the adsorption rotor () and then discharged to the outside of the room.
