Abstract: A diaphragm pump includes an actuator, a diaphragm, and first and second pump chambers and deforms to change a volume of the first pump chamber and a volume of the second pump chamber so that fluid flows. The diaphragm is bonded to a first surface and a second surface of the actuator. When the diaphragm is displaced convexly in a direction to the first pump chamber, the second pump chamber is configured to expand and the first pump chamber is configured to contract so that fluid flows into the second pump chamber and fluid flows out of the first pump chamber. When the diaphragm is displaced convexly in a direction to the second pump chamber, the first pump chamber is configured to expand and the second pump chamber is configured to contract so that fluid flows into the first pump chamber and fluid flows out of the second pump chamber.

Abstract: A diaphragm pump includes a piezoelectric member, a diaphragm having surfaces, and a supporting member. The piezoelectric member deforms when a voltage is applied. The diaphragm deforms in response to deformation of the piezoelectric member. The supporting member supports the diaphragm. A space is formed between the diaphragm and the supporting member. Fluid is made to flow by changing a volume of the space by deforming the diaphragm. The surfaces of the diaphragm face the space and include a first surface that deforms in response to deformation of the piezoelectric member and include a second surface not connected to the first surface. The diaphragm bonds to the supporting member with the second surface.

Abstract: Outside air is cooled and dehumidified by a pre-cooler to pass through an adsorption zone of a carbon dioxide adsorbing rotor, producing air having a low carbon dioxide concentration which is cooled by an intercooler. The air that has passed through the intercooler is passed through an adsorption zone of a moisture adsorption rotor and then supplied to a low humidity working chamber. Return air from the low humidity working chamber may be mixed with the air leaving the pre-cooler. A part of the air which passed through the intercooler is branched to pass through a purge zone of the moisture adsorption rotor before being sent to a regeneration zone of the humidity adsorption rotor. Air that passed through the regeneration zone of the humidity adsorption rotor is mixed with outside air and then passed through a regeneration zone of the carbon dioxide adsorption rotor before being exhausted.
