Disclosed is a dehumidifier capable of dehumidifying an indoor space more efficiently. The present dehumidifier comprises: a body having an intake opening and a discharge opening; a blowing fan arranged inside the body so as to draw air into the body through the intake opening and to discharge the same to the outside through the discharge opening; a fan case having a duct arranged inside the body so as to provide a channel through which the air drawn by the blowing fan flows to the discharge opening; a heat exchanger arranged inside the body so as to remove moisture from the air that has flown into the body; and fixed blades that are fixedly installed inside the duct so as to split the air, which has flowed through the channel, to a plurality of discharge paths.

Gas flow conditioner device for a heat exchanger

Flow conditioner device (40), for use in a heat exchanger system (10). The flow conditioner device includes a honeycomb structure (42) and a mesh (44). The honeycomb structure is configured for rectifying an incoming gas flow (26), and is formed by walls that border channels extending in a flow direction (X) from inlet apertures at a leading surface, to respective outlet apertures at a trailing surface of the honeycomb structure. The mesh is formed by a plurality of wires that extend along further directions (Y, Z) transverse to the flow direction, and which are mutually spaced to define openings. The mesh is attached directly to the honeycomb structure and abuts the second surface, and cross-sectional areas of the openings defined along the further directions vary as a function of position along at least one of the further directions.

PROTECTIVE GRILLE WITH IMPROVED EFFICIENCY AND NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
