Humidity control apparatus

Abstract

A dehumidification rotor traps water in air to dehumidify the air. The water trapped by the dehumidification rotor is collected in a water tank. The water to be collected in the water tank is purified by a water purification unit. A humidification rotor imparts the purified water to air to humidify the air.

1 . A humidity control apparatus, comprising:
 a dehumidification unit configured to dehumidify air by trapping moisture in the air;   a water container in which the water trapped by the dehumidification unit is collected;   a water purification unit configured to generate purifying substances which purifies water to be collected in the water container; and   a humidification unit configured to humidify air by imparting the water collected in the water container, to air.   
     
     
         2 . The humidity control apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the water purification unit serves as an electrical discharge section for generating active species as the purifying substances by generating electrical discharge.   
     
     
         3 . The humidity control apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the water purification unit is constituted by a photocatalyst member in which active species are generated as the purifying substances.   
     
     
         4 . The humidity control apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the water purification unit is constituted by a metal member in which metal ions are generated as the purifying substances.   
     
     
         5 . The humidity control apparatus of any one of  claims 1 - 4 , wherein
 the water purification unit imparts the purifying substances to water in the water container.   
     
     
         6 . The humidity control apparatus of any one of  claims 1 - 3 , further comprising:
 an injection path through which air flows, and an outflow end of which opens to the water container,   wherein the water purification unit provides the purifying substances into the injection path.   
     
     
         7 . The humidity control apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the water purification unit is arranged in the water container.   
     
     
         8 . The humidity control apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 air purification units configured to purify air.
