  • Patent number: 6792771
    Abstract: A cycle-side system (20) is formed by duct connecting a compressor (21), a heat exchanger (30), a demoisturizer (22), and an expansion device (23) in that order. The compressor (21) draws in room air and supply air for ventilation and compresses the same. The compressed air exchanges heat with exhaust air for ventilation in the heat exchanger (30), thereby being cooled. Water vapor in the cooled, compressed air is removed in the demoisturizer (22). The demoisturizer (22) is provided with a separation membrane and separates water vapor in the compressed air without the occurrence of condensation. Thereafter, the compressed air is expanded in the expansion device (23) to change into low-temperature air. The low-temperature air is supplied into a room. On the other hand, the heat exchanger (30) is fed exhaust air cooled in a humidifying cooler (41).

  • Patent number: 6484528
    Abstract: A compressor (21), a heat exchanger (30), a demoisturizer (22), and an expansion device (23) are duct connected in that order to form a heat source-side system (20). The compressor (21) draws and compresses outdoor air and exhaust air for ventilation. The compressed air is subjected to heat exchange with air for conditioning in the heat exchanger (30). The compressed air is demoisturized in the demoisturizer (22). Thereafter, the compressed air is expanded in the expansion device (23), changes to low-temperature air, and then is expelled to outside the room. On the other hand, the conditioning air is delivered, through an inlet duct (43), to the heat exchanger (30). The conditioning air is a mixture of supply air for ventilation and air in the room. The conditioning air is subjected to heat exchange with the compressed air in the heat exchanger (30), whereby the conditioning air is heated. Further, the conditioning air is humidified in a humidifying part (42).
