Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) AND CLAIM OF PRIORITY 
     The present application is related to and claims the benefit of the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0022536, filed on Feb. 13, 2015, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a dehumidifier configured to be used as to lower the humidity of an indoor space. 
     BACKGROUND 
     In general, a dehumidifier is an apparatus configured to remove moisture in air. The dehumidifier may be largely distinguished into a drying-type dehumidifier and a cooling-type dehumidifier. The drying-type dehumidifier is a type of the dehumidifier configured to perform a dehumidification by absorbing or adsorbing the moisture in the air by using dehumidifying agent, while the cooling-type dehumidifier is configured to condense the moisture in the air by cooling the temperature of the air below dew point by use of a cooling cycle apparatus. 
     The cooling-type dehumidifier, at an inside of a case forming an exterior appearance, includes components of the cooling cycle, such as a compressor, a condenser, an expansion apparatus, and an evaporator, and a draft fan configured to have air at an indoor space move through the case by generating inlet force and draft force. By having the air of the indoor space pass through the evaporator at an inside of the case, the moisture included in the air is condensed on a surface of the evaporator, and thus the dehumidification is performed. 
     In the dehumidifier in general, the air that is dehumidified after passing through the evaporator is provided to pass through the condenser configured to condense refrigerant. The air that is dehumidified is heated by absorbing heat from the refrigerant of the condenser while passing through the condenser, and thus the air of the indoor space is provided with reduced humidity and higher temperature at the same time while passing through the evaporator and the condenser at an inside of a housing.

       FIGS. 1 through 13 , discussed below, and the various embodiments used to describe the principles of the present disclosure in this patent document are by way of illustration only and should not be construed in any way to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of the present disclosure may be implemented in any suitably arranged humidifier. Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , a conventional dehumidifier  10  includes a case  11  having an inlet hole  12  and an outlet hole  13 , a compressor  90  to compress refrigerant, a condenser  40  to condense the refrigerant and radiate latent heat to an outside, a cooling cycle apparatus having an expansion apparatus  91  to expand the refrigerant and an evaporator  20  to absorb the latent heat of the outside by evaporating the refrigerant and condense the moisture in the surrounding air, and a draft fan  50  to inlet air through an inlet hole  12  and move the inlet air to be outlet through the outlet hole  13  after dehumidified through the evaporator  20  and then heated while passing through the condenser  40 . 
     The dehumidifier is provided such that the air  80  entered through the one inlet hole  12  is outlet to the one outlet hole  13  after passing through the evaporator  20  and the condenser  40 , and thus heat Q transferred from the condenser is concentrated at the one outlet hole  13 . Therefore, a user may feel inconvenience by the air  80  being outlet at higher temperature than the surrounding temperature. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , a dehumidifier  100  includes an outer case  111  having a first inlet hole  112 , a first outlet hole  113 , a second inlet hole  114  ( FIG. 9 ), and a second outlet hole  115 . In addition, the dehumidifier  100  includes a compressor  190  to compress refrigerant, a first condenser  140  and a second condenser  141  to condense refrigerant and radiate latent heat to an outside, and a cooling cycle apparatus having an expansion apparatus  191  to expand refrigerant and an evaporator  120  to absorb latent heat of an outside by evaporating refrigerant and condense moisture of the surrounding air. In addition, the dehumidifier  100  includes a first draft fan  150  to inlet air through the first inlet hole  112  and move the inlet air to be outlet through the first outlet hole  113  after the inlet air is dehumidified through the evaporator  120  and then heated while passing through the first condenser  140 , and a second draft fan  151  to inlet air through a second inlet hole  114  and move the inlet air to be outlet through the second outlet hole  115  after the inlet air is heated while passing through the second condenser  141 . 
     As illustrated on  FIG. 9 , the second inlet hole  114  may be provided at a side surface of the dehumidifier  100 , or may be provided at a random direction other than the direction that is identical to the second outlet hole  115 . Although the second inlet hole  114  is not illustrated on  FIG. 2  to  FIG. 7 , a second moving path  181  illustrated on  FIG. 2  to  FIG. 7  is provided to illustrate a moving path facing from the second inlet hole  114  provided at a side surface of the dehumidifier  100  toward the second outlet hole  115 . 
     The dehumidifier  100  according to the present disclosure is provided such that the air that is inlet through the second inlet hole  114  is outlet through the second outlet hole  113  after passing through the second condenser  141 , and the air that is inlet through the first inlet hole  112  is outlet through the first outlet hole  115  after passing through the first condenser  140 , and thus energy is dispersed to two units of outlet holes Q 1  and Q 2 .

     Furthermore, the dehumidifier  100  according to the present disclosure is configured to provide a driving condition of three modes including a warm air dehumidification mode, general dehumidification mode, and a cool air dehumidification mode so that a user may adjust the temperature of the air being outlet through the first outlet hole  113  as desired. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , the dehumidifier  100  according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to provide the warm air dehumidification mode and the general dehumidification mode. The exit of the compressor  190  and the entry of the first condenser  140  are connected by use of a conduit having a first compressor-exit-valve  171 , and the exit of the compressor  190  and the entry of the second condenser  141  are connected by use of a conduit having a second compressor-exit-valve  172 .
