Abstract

A humidity exchanger element is formed from a corrugated sheet and a flat sheet laminated to points of contact of a ridged surface of the corrugated sheet. Each corrugated and flat sheet is formed of a paper of inorganic fibers and an adsorbent formed of an aerogel bonded to surfaces of each sheet and impregnated on the inorganic fibers. The aerogel being a silicate of titanium or titanium-aluminum. A humidity exchanger medium is formed of a bonded honeycomb matrix of wound or stacked sheets of the humidity exchanger element.
