Abstract:
A dehumidifying air-conditioning system having a path for processing air to be cooled by a low temperature heat source of a heat pump after moisture is adsorbed therefrom by a desiccant, a path for regenerating air which, after being heated by a high temperature heat source of the heat pump, passes through the desiccant that has adsorbed moisture to regenerate the desiccant, and a path for cooling air for cooling the processing air by exchanging heat with the processing air from which moisture is adsorbed by the desiccant, the arrangement being such that the processing air and the regenerating air alternately flow through the desiccant, characterized by means for adjusting the flow rate of the cooling air which passes through a heat exchanger for cooling the processing air to variably exchange heat between the processing air and the cooling airs.
