Abstract: A dehumidifier for flexible envelopes having a process side for dehumidifying air from the flexible envelope and a regeneration side for regenerating the dessicant used for dehumidification. A regeneration wheel containing a dessicant is rotatably mounted in a slot between the process and the regeneration compartments so that a first section of the wheel extends into the process compartment and a second section of the wheel extends into the regeneration compartment. The process and regeneration compartments are further divided by a plurality of partitions transverse to the wall forming the regeneration and process compartments. A stream of air is generated in the process compartment by means of a blower wheel which is driven by a motor in the lower regeneration compartment. The static pressure in the lower process compartment is slightly lower than the pressure in the lower regeneration compartment, thereby preventing migration of flammable gases to electrical parts in the lower regeneration compartment. The pressure differential is reversed, however, in the upper regeneration and process compartments so that the static pressure in the process compartment is slightly higher than in the regeneration compartment, thereby preventing migration of moist air into the process side of the compartment after the process air has been dehumidified.

Abstract translation: 一种用于柔性包络的除湿器，具有用于对来自柔性包层的空气进行除湿的处理侧和用于再生用于除湿的干燥剂的再生侧。 包含干燥剂的再生轮可旋转地安装在过程和再生隔室之间的狭槽中，使得轮的第一部分延伸进入处理室，并且轮的第二部分延伸到再生室中。 工艺和再生隔室进一步被横跨于形成再生和加工隔室的壁的多个隔板分开。 通过由下部再生室中的电动机驱动的鼓风机叶片在处理室中产生空气流。 下部处理室中的静压略低于下部再生室中的压力，从而防止易燃气体向下部再生室中的电气部件迁移。 然而，在上部再生和加工隔室中，压差相反，使得处理隔室中的静压略高于再生室中的静压力，从而防止湿空气在处理空气之后迁移到隔室的工艺侧 已被除湿。
