Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0244624A1] The invention relates to a device for continuously humidifying and dehumidifying additional air from manufacturing processes and ventilating and air conditioning systems. The inventive device is characterized by a membrane contactor (1) comprising a membrane. The additional air can be guided along one side of the membrane and a hygroscopic fluid can be guided along the other side of the membrane. A dosing device (22) is also provided in order to add water so that the water content of the hygroscopic fluid can be increased, in addition to a regenerator (7) enabling the water content of the hygroscopic fluid to be lowered. A control device connected to the dosing device (22) and the regenerator (7) controls the water content of the hygroscopic fluid in such a way that it is possible to switch between humidification and dehumidification irrespective of the partial pressure difference between the additional air and the hygroscopic fluid.
