Abstract: A desiccant wheel for a dehumidifier includes a band of material around an outer circumference of the desiccant wheel and a plurality of sprocket holes formed in the band of material. The plurality of sprocket holes are configured for coupling the desiccant wheel to a sprocket. The desiccant wheel is configured to rotate when the sprocket is rotated by a motor.

Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, first and second fans, and a bracket. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to provide dehumidification. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to dry the desiccant. The bracket is configured to mount the first fan within the dehumidifier. The bracket includes a first portion coupled to the first fan that supports weight of the first fan when the dehumidifier is in an upright position. The bracket also includes a support member coupled to the first portion and a side of the dehumidifier. The side member supports weight of the first fan when the dehumidifier is in a horizontal position.

Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, a first fan, a second fan, and a circuit. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters the dehumidifier through a process airflow inlet and exits through a process airflow outlet. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant to dry the desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the dehumidifier through a reactivation airflow inlet and exits through a reactivation airflow outlet. The circuit includes a power setting switch that controls whether the dehumidifier operates in a low or high power setting. In the low power setting, the dehumidifier operates on power from a first electrical outlet type. In the high power setting, the dehumidifier operates on power from a second electrical outlet type that is different from the first electrical outlet type.

Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a desiccant, a cabinet, a first fan, and a second fan. The cabinet comprises a process airflow inlet, a process airflow outlet, a reactivation airflow inlet, and a reactivation airflow outlet that is located adjacent to the desiccant. The first fan generates a process airflow through a first portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters the cabinet through the process airflow inlet and exits the cabinet through the process airflow outlet. The second fan generates a reactivation airflow through a second portion of the desiccant as it rotates in order to dry the desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the cabinet through the reactivation airflow inlet and exits the cabinet through the reactivation airflow outlet.

Abstract: A dehumidifier includes a wheel-shaped desiccant, a first fan, and a second fan. The wheel-shaped desiccant is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above. The first fan is configured to generate a process airflow that flows through a first portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to provide dehumidification. The process airflow enters a first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits a second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant, the first being opposite from the second side. The second fan is configured to generate a reactivation airflow that flows through a second portion of the wheel-shaped desiccant in order to dry the wheel-shaped desiccant. The reactivation airflow enters the second side of the wheel-shaped desiccant and exits the first side of the wheel-shaped desiccant.
