  • Publication number: 20150367280
    Abstract: A dehumidification device and an electrified desorption device thereof are provided. The electrified desorption device includes a conductive water-absorbing material containing titanosilicates; a conductive layer containing a metal component or a mixture of the metal component and graphite, attached to end surfaces at two sides of the water-absorbing material; a pair of electrode structures, coupled to the two sides of the water-absorbing material respectively and each having multiple sub-electrodes insulated from each other; and a voltage source, coupled to the pair of electrode structures. The electrodes are coupled to the conductive water-absorbing material, and the conductive water-absorbing material is directly electrified with a current, so that the conductive water-absorbing material generates heat to achieve a desorption effect, and further maintains a re-adsorbing capability to continue operation.

  • Patent number: 9109807
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device and system for desorption and dehumidification, comprising a conductive electrode, a moisture absorber, and a power source. The conductive electrode comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and the first surface has a plurality of protrusion elements. The moisture absorber comprises a third surface formed on the plurality of protrusions. The power source provides power to the conductive electrode such that a uniform and stable micro-discharge phenomenon is generated thereby forming a continuous charge flow. The continuous charge flow can further generate an electrical interruption for depolarizing the attraction between the moisture molecules and moisture absorber whereby the moisture molecules can be desorbed from the moisture absorber more easily.

  • Patent number: 8187368
    Abstract: The present invention provides a low power consumption desorption apparatus, which utilizes a pair of electrodes coupled to an absorbing material to provide an electric current flowing through the absorbing material so as to desorb the substances absorbed within the absorbing material. By means of the desorption apparatus of the present invention, the absorbing material is able to enhance the desorbing efficiency and reducing power consumption during desorption. The present invention further provides a dehumidifier using the low power consumption desorption apparatus for providing a continuous dry air flow to desorb and regenerate the moisture from the absorbing material so that the dehumidifier is capable of removing moisture in the air repeatedly to reduce the humidity.
