Abstract
A dehumidifier (10) for air comprises an absorption refrigerating apparatus, the evaporator (14) of which being arranged in a first duct (22), through which the air by natural convection flows past the evaporator (14) and is refrigerated by it, so that the humidity in the air condenses on the evaporator (14). An absorber (16) and a condenser (20) of the apparatus are arranged in a second duct (26) and there heat extra air taken in from the room to the second duct (26) through an opening (34) and by natural convection flowing upwards through the second duct (26). An opening (32) is arranged between the ducts (22, 26), through which air which has been refrigerated and dehumidified in the first duct (22) flows into the second duct (26) and is there intermixed with the the flow of said extra air.
