Dehumidifier

Abstract

A dehumidifier according to an embodiment comprises: a main body which suctions air through a suction port and discharges same through a discharge port; a heat exchange part which removes moisture in the air suctioned through the suction port and comprises an evaporator and a condenser; a blowing part guiding the dehumidified air dehumidified by the heat exchange part to the discharge port; and a cooling part disposed between the suction port and the heat exchange part. Here, the cooling part absorbs heat from the suctioned air, thereby lowering the temperature thereof.

1 . A dehumidifier comprising:
 a body configured to suction air through an inlet and discharge the air through an outlet;   a heat exchanger comprising an evaporator and a condenser and configured to remove moisture in the air suctioned through the inlet;   a blower configured to guide air dehumidified in the heat exchanger to the outlet; and   a cooler disposed between the inlet and the heat exchanger,   wherein the cooler is configured to absorb heat from the suctioned air to reduce a temperature thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The dehumidifier of  claim 1 , wherein the cooler comprises:
 a cooling element configured to absorb heat of the air suctioned through the inlet while the suctioned air is passing through the cooling element; and   a heat dissipation element disposed below the cooling element to receive the heat absorbed by the cooling element and dissipate the heat.   
     
     
         3 . The dehumidifier of  claim 2 , wherein the cooler further comprises:
 a Peltier element disposed between the cooling element and the heat dissipation element to connect the cooling element and the heat dissipation element such that heat moves therebetween.   
     
     
         4 . The dehumidifier of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an accommodator disposed below the heat exchanger to collect dehumidification water falls from the heat exchanger,   wherein a lower end of the cooler is immersed in the dehumidification water collected in the accommodator.   
     
     
         5 . The dehumidifier of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 an accommodator disposed below the heat exchanger to collect dehumidification water falls from the heat exchanger,   wherein a portion of the heat dissipation element is immersed in the dehumidification water collected in the accommodator.   
     
     
         6 . A dehumidifier comprising:
 a body configured to suction air through an inlet and discharge the air through an outlet;   a heat exchanger comprising an evaporator and a condenser and configured to remove moisture in the air suctioned through the inlet;   a blower configured to guide the air dehumidified in the heat exchanger to the outlet; and   a cooler configured to absorb heat from suctioned or discharged air to reduce a temperature thereof,   wherein the cooler comprises:   a cooling element configured to absorb heat from air while the air is passing through the cooling element; and   a heat dissipation element disposed below the cooling element to receive the heat absorbed by the cooling element and dissipate the heat.   
     
     
         7 . The dehumidifier of  claim 6 , wherein the cooler further comprises:
 a Peltier element disposed between the cooling element and the heat dissipation element to connect the cooling element and the heat dissipation element such that heat moves therebetween.   
     
     
         8 . The dehumidifier of  claim 6 , wherein the cooler is disposed between the inlet and the heat exchanger to reduce a temperature of the air suctioned through the inlet. 
     
     
         9 . The dehumidifier of  claim 6 , wherein the cooler is disposed between the blower and the heat exchanger to reduce a temperature of air dehumidified by the heat exchanger to be discharged through the outlet. 
     
     
         10 . The dehumidifier of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 an accommodator disposed below the heat exchanger to collect dehumidification water that falls from the heat exchanger,   wherein a portion of the heat dissipation element is immersed in the dehumidification water collected in the accommodator.
