    Abstract: A humidity conditioning method includes: the humidity-absorbing step of bringing a hygroscopic liquid containing a hygroscopic material into contact with a first mass of air so that the hygroscopic liquid absorbs moisture in the first mass of air; and the regeneration step of separating moisture from the hygroscopic liquid having absorbed moisture, wherein the regeneration step retains the hygroscopic liquid having absorbed moisture, bombards at least some of the retained hygroscopic liquid with ultrasound to generate misty droplets from the hygroscopic liquid having absorbed moisture, and removes the misty droplets to separate moisture from the hygroscopic liquid.

    Abstract: Provided is a humidity conditioning method that enables absorption and desorption of moisture with low power consumption. The humidity conditioning method includes: an adjustment step of adjusting a moisture amount of hygroscopic liquid; and a measurement step of measuring concentration of a hygroscopic substance contained in the hygroscopic liquid, in which at the adjustment step, at least either moisture absorption processing of causing moisture contained in air to be absorbed by the hygroscopic liquid or regeneration processing of separating the moisture from the hygroscopic liquid is performed, the regeneration processing includes atomization processing of irradiating at least a part of the hygroscopic liquid with an ultrasonic wave to generate an atomized droplet from the hygroscopic liquid and perform removal, the atomized droplet contains a first droplet and a second droplet whose particle size is larger than a particle size of the first droplet, a concentration region of the hygroscopic substance relative to total mass of the hygroscopic liquid includes a first concentration region in which the first droplet is generated, and a second concentration region in which the second droplet is generated and in which concentration is lower than that in the first concentration region, and the moisture amount of the hygroscopic liquid is adjusted so that the concentration is included in the first concentration region on a basis of a measurement result obtained in at least the measurement step.

    Abstract: Provided is a humidity control device capable of stably absorbing and desorbing moisture. The humidity control device includes: a moisture absorber causing a hygroscopic material to come into contact with air so that the hygroscopic material absorbs portion of moisture contained in the air, the hygroscopic material being in liquid and containing water, polyalcohol having hygroscopicity, and metal salt having hygroscopicity; and a composition controller controlling composition of the hygroscopic material. The composition controller controls the composition of the hygroscopic material to be within a range in which the hygroscopic material is capable of absorbing the moisture while the metal salt is kept from being deposited.
