Abstract
[Problem to be Solved] To provide a gas humidity regulating method and a regulator that can regulate a temperature during humidity control and improve humidity-control efficiency. In an air humidity regulating method for gas subjected to treatment, a first medium 22 is caused to flow onto a heat exchanging pipe 17 of a gas-liquid contact part 18 in a dehumidifier 11 ; meanwhile, a second medium 24 is passed through the heat exchanging pipe 17 . In this state, air is fed into a gas-liquid contact case 13 from an inlet port 14 and gas-liquid contact is made by the first medium 22 on the gas-liquid contact part 18 so as to absorb water content from the air into the first medium 22 . The first medium 22 contains an ionic liquid having high absorbency. The temperature of the first medium 22 is regulated by the second medium 24 . After that, treated air is discharged from an outlet port 15 of the gas-liquid contact case 13.
