Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus according to an aspect of the invention includes: an air conditioner that has a heat pump; a humidity controller of a wet desiccant type; an air transport flow path through which air discharged from the air conditioner is transported to the humidity controller; and a control unit that includes an air conditioner temperature control unit controlling a temperature of air discharged from the air conditioner and a humidity controller humidity control unit controlling a humidity of air discharged from the humidity controller. The air conditioner supplies the air, the temperature of which is controlled, to the humidity controller via the air transport flow path and the humidity controller discharges the air, the humidity of which is controlled, into a room.

Abstract: An air conditioning device includes: a moisture absorption unit that causes a liquid hygroscopic agent to absorb moisture contained in the air; an atomizing regeneration unit that atomizes the moisture contained in the liquid hygroscopic agent supplied from the moisture absorption unit via a first liquid hygroscopic agent transport flow path, removes the moisture from the liquid hygroscopic agent, and regenerates the liquid hygroscopic agent: an air introduction flow path through which the air is introduced to the moisture absorption unit and the atomizing regeneration unit; a second liquid hygroscopic agent transport flow path through which the liquid hygroscopic agent is transported from the atomizing regeneration unit to the moisture absorption unit; and an air internal pressure rising suppression member that suppresses rising of an internal pressure of the air in the air introduction flow path.

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: A humidity control device includes: a storage unit that stores hygroscopic liquid that contains a hygroscopic substance; a vent that is provided in the storage unit; absorption means by which air and the hygroscopic liquid are brought into contact with each other and moisture contained in the air is absorbed by the hygroscopic liquid; an ultrasonic wave generation unit that irradiates at least a part of the hygroscopic liquid, which has absorbed the moisture, with an ultrasonic wave; and removal means by which an atomized droplet that is generated is removed from the hygroscopic liquid that has absorbed the moisture, in which the storage unit suppresses an outflow of a coarse droplet whose particle size is larger than that of the atomized droplet.
