Title:
DEHUMIDIFIER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/151488
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present embodiment comprises: a case having a suction body having an air intake opening formed therein and a discharge body having an air discharge opening formed therein; an evaporator which is arranged inside the case, and which has an evaporating fin coupled to an evaporating tube; a condenser arranged inside the case and spaced from the evaporator; a fan configured such that air is made to flow to the evaporator and then to the condenser; at least one heat pipe comprising heat pipe assemblies positioned in front of and behind the evaporator in the air flow direction, respectively, each heat pipe assembly comprising a heat-absorbing pipe portion preceding the evaporator in the air flow direction, a heat-radiating pipe portion positioned between the evaporator and the condenser in the air flow direction, and a connecting pipe portion that connects the heat-absorbing pipe portion and the heat-radiating pipe portion; and at least one heat-conducting fin having a heat pipe coupling hole formed therein to be coupled to at least one selected from the heat-absorbing pipe portion and the heat-radiating pipe portion. The present embodiment has the following advantageous effects: the heat-conducting fin improves the heat transfer capability of the heat pipe such that the decrease in the amount of power consumed by the heat pipe can be increased; and the shared use of the evaporator having an evaporating fin coupled to an evaporating tube can minimize the costs for the entire facility for manufacturing each of a dehumidifier model having a heat pipe assembly and an evaporator installed together and a dehumidifier model having no heat pipe assembly.
