ABSTRACT:
A dehumidifying device is often used to protect measurement equipment from condensation during measurements of a flowing gas. A dehumidifying device which does not need to be replaced as a result of becoming moisture-saturated is achieved by a container filled with a hydrophilic material and connected to a moisture permeable element. When a gas flows through the device via an inlet, a flow channel and an outlet, the hydrophilic material absorbs moisture from the flowing gas. The absorbed moisture is released into ambient air via the moisture permeable element.
