る。2. Description of the Related Art A gas exchange device for supplying a dry gas to one end side of a hygroscopic body and discharging the moist gas to the other end side thereof is a disk-shaped honeycomb substrate having a large number of through holes extending in an axial direction. A gas exchange device using a hygroscopic material having a hygroscopic agent carried on the surface of a honeycomb substrate has been conventionally developed. The disk-shaped hygroscopic body used in this gas exchange device generally has a large number of through holes extending in the axial direction and connecting both end surfaces of the disk-shaped hygroscopic body. The gas exchange device is configured to supply the air that is contained in the air passing through the through-hole and that is adsorbed by the wall surface defining the through-hole to dry the air.

することができなくなる。That is, in this gas exchange device, the moist air on the other end side of the hygroscopic body passes through the through hole, and the water contained in the moist air on the other end side is carried on the wall surface defining the through hole. Adsorb with a moisture absorbent. In this way, the moisture contained in the moist air can be adsorbed by the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole, and the moist air can be made into dry air and supplied to one end side of the hygroscopic body. However, when the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through holes of the hygroscopic body adsorbs a certain amount of water or more, the hygroscopic agent having adsorbed the water can no longer adsorb the water.

を他端側へ排出するようにしている。Therefore, in the gas exchange device, the dry air on one end side of the hygroscopic body normally passes through the through hole. The dry air absorbs the moisture adsorbed by the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole to dry the hygroscopic agent. When the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface is dried, the hygroscopic agent can newly adsorb moisture. That is, the hygroscopic agent is regenerated. When the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface that defines the through holes is dried with dry air in this way, the dry air absorbs moisture and becomes moist air, so the gas exchange device normally uses this moist air. The other end is discharged.

その吸湿性能を再生するということが行われている。In this case, conventionally, the disk-shaped hygroscopic body of the gas exchange device is rotated so that the adsorption of water and the regeneration of the hygroscopic agent can be alternately and continuously repeated.
More specifically, a partition is provided on the end surface of the hygroscopic body, and generally, it is divided into a fan-shaped end surface having a predetermined angle from the center of rotation and the other end surface other than that, and the disc-shaped hygroscopic body of the gas exchange device is rotated. , The other end surface of the other end side other than the fan-shaped end surface is introduced into the through hole through the moist air, and the moisture contained in the moist air is adsorbed by the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole and dried. While supplying the formed air to one end side, the dry air is introduced from the fan-shaped end face of the one end side of the hygroscopic body into the through hole to dry the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole to absorb the moisture. Playing performance is being done.

It is said that the moisture absorbing agent is supplied to dry the moisture absorbing agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole by the dry air at one end side to regenerate the moisture absorbing performance of the moisture absorbing agent, and the resulting moist air is discharged to the other end side. Is configured.

Japanese Patent No. 548 discloses a hygroscopic body having a columnar honeycomb structure using a hygroscopic agent containing molecular sieve powder. Further, JP-A-63-240921 discloses a hygroscopic body having a columnar honeycomb structure using silica gel and zeolite. These are methods that attempt to improve the dehumidifying ability of the gas exchange device by using a hygroscopic agent having a high moisture absorptivity.

That is, the hygroscopic agent can adsorb water in a somewhat wet state, that is, in a state of adsorbing water, even if it is not completely dry.
We also paid attention to the fact that it can be reproduced. Therefore, the present inventor considered that both the adsorption of moisture by the hygroscopic agent and the regeneration of the adsorbent can be performed within a certain range of the moisture adsorbed by the hygroscopic agent, that is, within the adsorption zone of moisture. Then, if adsorption of moisture and regeneration of the adsorbent are repeated within the adsorption zone where the hygroscopic agent has adsorbed moisture, it is sufficient to dry within the adsorption zone even when the hygroscopic agent is dried and regenerated. I thought.

Then, the present inventor has recognized that, when comparing the adsorption zone of silica and the adsorption zone of zeolite, silica is more adsorbed and regenerated in a state where the adsorption of water is less than that of zeolite. . Therefore, when silica and zeolite are used as the hygroscopic agent, when regenerating the hygroscopic agent, silica is placed upstream in the direction in which dry air flows, and zeolite is placed downstream thereof to improve the efficiency of these hygroscopic agents. I thought it could be played well.

A hygroscopic body having, a driving means for rotating the hygroscopic body, a dry gas on the one end side is sent from a predetermined end surface extending from a rotation center on one end side of the hygroscopic body to a peripheral edge, and the other end side of the hygroscopic body is formed. In a gas exchange device comprising a gas exchange means for sending the wet gas on the other end side from the other end face other than the predetermined end face, the gas exchange device is carried on the wall surface defining the through hole on the one end side into which the dry gas is introduced. The hygroscopic agent is silica, and the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface that partitions the through hole on the other end side into which the wet gas is introduced is a zeolite.

説明する。BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The gas exchange device of the present invention has a disk-shaped honeycomb substrate having a large number of through holes extending in the axial direction, and a hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through holes of the honeycomb substrate. A hygroscopic body, drive means for rotating the hygroscopic body,
Gas exchange that sends dry gas on one end side from a predetermined end surface that spreads from the rotation center on one end side of the hygroscopic body to the peripheral edge and sends wet gas on the other end side from the other end surface other than the predetermined end surface on the other end side of the hygroscopic body In the gas exchange device including the means, the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole on the one end side into which the dry gas is introduced is silica, and defines the through hole on the other end side into which the wet gas is introduced. The hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface is characterized by being zeolite. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

む。The hygroscopic body of the gas exchange device of the present invention comprises a disk-shaped honeycomb substrate having a large number of through holes extending in the axial direction, and a hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through holes of the honeycomb substrate. ing. These many through holes extending in the axial direction communicate with both end faces of the disc-shaped honeycomb substrate. Here, the "disc shape" also includes a shape in which the axial length of the honeycomb substrate is long and has a "cylindrical shape".

The diameter can be adjusted to absorb the water adsorbed on the. The diameter of the through hole can be approximately 0.5 to 10 mm.

ルギーが増大することになる。Further, the axial length or thickness of the honeycomb substrate is such that the water contained in the gas is adsorbed by the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through hole or is carried on the wall surface defining the through hole. The length can be made suitable for absorbing the moisture adsorbed by the absorbed moisture absorbent. When the through holes are made longer, the proportion of air in contact with the hygroscopic agent carried on the wall surface defining the through holes increases. Therefore, the moisture in the gas can be adsorbed as much. However, if the through holes are made longer than necessary, the hygroscopic agent carried upstream of the gas flow will adsorb water in the gas, and the hygroscopic agent carried downstream will not need to adsorb water. That also happens. Moreover, the energy required for the gas exchange means for sending the gas to the opposite end surface is increased.

吸湿体は、概ね３０〜２００ｍｍとすることができる。If the length of the through hole is too short, the gas on the other end side of the hygroscopic body will pass on to one end side of the hygroscopic body before the hygroscopic agent has sufficiently absorbed the moisture in the gas. The hygroscopic material may be approximately 30-200 mm.

Therefore, a large amount of gas can be dehumidified at one time. In the gas exchange apparatus of the present invention, since the substrate supporting the hygroscopic agent is a honeycomb-shaped substrate, the number of through holes per unit area of the end face of the substrate increases and the amount of air introduced into the hygroscopic body. Can be a lot. As a result, a larger amount of gas can be dehumidified.

For example, a honeycomb substrate can be formed by alternately laminating flat plates and corrugated plates made of a metal such as aluminum to form a roll. When the honeycomb substrate is formed by the flat plate and the corrugated plate as described above, the wall surface that defines each through hole is composed of the flat plate and the corrugated plate.
