Two passages adjacent to each other via walls are formed spirally, and heat is exchanged between fluids passing through the passages via the walls. Upper and lower end faces of the spiral passages are covered with end plates, and the spiral passages and the end plates are sealed air-tightly. The end plates have a first passage inlet opening only to the first passage, a first passage outlet opening only to the first passage, a second passage inlet opening only to the second passage and a second passage outlet opening only to the second passage. Each of the inlets and outlets is open to every turn of the spiral passage. A first fluid entering the passage from the first passage inlet passes through the first passage for less than one turn only and is discharged from the first passage outlet. A second fluid entering the passage through the second passage inlet passes through the second passage for less than one turn only and is discharged from the second passage outlet. Thus, since the fluids entering from the openings pass through the passages for less than one turn only, the pressure loss is small, throughput is high, and the power used for the processing can be reduced.

A method by which water may be extracted from the air even without a supply of electricity from a power source or even without a supply of fuel, as well as an apparatus therefor, is disclosed. The apparatus used for the method for extracting water from the air comprises at least a rotatably mounted hygroscopic moisture-absorbing rotor having at least one region through which air can pass in the direction of thickness thereof; a passage for regeneration through which air for regeneration is circulated, of which both ends are opened at the opposing two surfaces of a regeneration region, respectively, the regeneration region being a part of the moisture-absorbing rotor, at which the moisture-absorbing rotor that absorbed moisture is regenerated; and a drain hole for taking out condensed water from the passage for regeneration.

A dehumidification apparatus of the type using a deliquescent agent, with which the leakage of deliquesced liquid out of the apparatus is securely prevented is disclosed. In the dehumidification apparatus, an air inlet and an air outlet are formed in the upper plate of the container. At least one closing member which can close the air inlet and the air outlet is arranged above the air inlet and the air outlet. At least one movable member is provided, which has each distal end, which member can move in the vertical direction, which member is attached to the closing member, and which member is urged downwardly such that when the dehumidification apparatus is not placed with its bottom down, the distal end of the movable member protrudes from the bottom of the apparatus so that the closing member closes the air inlet and the air outlet, and when the dehumidification apparatus is placed on a plane with its bottom down, the distal end of the movable member is made flush with the bottom overcoming the downward urging force by virtue of weight of the apparatus so that the air inlet and the air outlet are open.
