Abstract:
A dehumidifier is provided. The dehumidifier may include a case having an air intake opening and an air discharge opening, an evaporator arranged inside the case and having evaporating fins coupled to evaporating tubes, a condenser arranged inside the case spaced apart from the evaporator, a fan that flows air in a direction from the evaporator to the condenser, and a heat pipe assembly positioned in front of and behind the evaporator in the air flow direction spaced apart from the evaporator. The heat pipe assembly may include heat pipes and heat-conducting fins each having a heat pipe coupling hole formed therein to be coupled to the respective heat pipe. Heat pipes may include heat-absorbing pipe portions positioned in front of the evaporator, heat-dissipating pipe portions positioned between the evaporator and the condenser, and connecting pipe portions that connect the heat-absorbing pipe portion to the heat-dissipating pipe portion, respectively.
