Abstract (en)

An image forming apparatus (1) includes a dehumidifier (13) in which a dehumidified air flow path (A) and an exhaust heat air flow path (B) are formed. A cooling-and-dehumidifying member (11) is positioned in the dehumidified air flow path (A) and a heat exhaust member (12) is positioned in the exhaust heat air flow path (B). A case (15) covers an aperture common to the dehumidified air flow path (A) and the exhaust heat air flow path (B). An imaging unit (14) is connected to the dehumidifier (13) by a connecting air flow path (24) through which dehumidified air is introduced into the imaging unit (14) from the dehumidified air flow path (A),
