Patent attributes
A drainless air conditioner performs an air conditioning process on mixed air, which is a mixture of some indoor air and outdoor air. A first adsorptive heat exchanger and a second adsorptive heat exchanger are capable of performing a humidity conditioning process on the air. An air heat exchanger is capable of exchanging heat between the air and a fluid after it has undergone a heat treatment by a heat source. The outdoor air undergoes a humidity conditioning process by the first adsorptive heat exchanger or the second adsorptive heat exchanger and becomes the mixed together with some of the indoor air. The air heat exchanger exchanges heat between the mixed air and a fluid. Exhaust air undergoes the humidity conditioning process by the first adsorptive heat exchanger or the second adsorptive heat exchanger and is subsequently delivered to the outdoor space.
