DEHUMIDIFIER

To provide a dehumidifier for performing dehumidification operation which makes great account of comfortableness such that comfortable humidity can be provided with respect to detected room temperature.SOLUTION: A dehumidifier includes dehumidifying means 5 which removes moisture contained in air, blowing means 2 which sucks air in a chamber and blows dry air dehumidified by the dehumidifying means 5, temperature detection means 3 which detects a temperature in the chamber, humidity detection means 4 which detects humidity in the chamber and control means 7 which controls movements of the dehumidifying means 5 and the blowing means 2 by a detected temperature detected by the temperature detection means 3 and a detected humidity detected by the humidity detection means 4. Therein, the control means 7 sets a preset humidity as a target when performing dehumidifying operation onto a relative humidity of the upper limit side of a proper range with respect to the detected temperature in combination information of temperature/relative humidity based on an index which divides the proper and improper ranges at least with respect to comfortableness.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】検出された室温に対し快適とされる湿度になるように、快適性を重視した除湿運転を行う除湿機を提供する。【解決手段】空気中に含まれる水分を除去する除湿手段５と、室内の空気を吸気し、除湿手段５により除湿された乾燥空気を室内に吹き出す送風手段２と、室内の温度を検出する温度検出手段３と、室内の湿度を検出する湿度検出手段４と、温度検出手段３が検出する検出温度と湿度検出手段４が検出する検出湿度により除湿手段５および送風手段２の動作を制御する制御手段７を備え、制御手段７は、除湿運転を行う際の目標とする設定湿度を、少なくとも快適性に関して好適と不適とを区分する指標に基づいた温度・相対湿度の組合せ情報において、検出温度に対し好適範囲の上限側の相対湿度に設定する。【選択図】図２
