ABSTRACT:
A moisture control unit is made up of a body which is partitioned by a partition wall into a plurality of chambers. A dehumidifying opening is provided in a chamber and a humidifying opening is provided in a chamber. A moisture absorption rotor is rotatably provided in the chambers and a heater provided in one of the chambers adjacent to the moisture absorption rotor for evaporating water which is absorbed by the moisture absorption rotor. A part of the moisture absorption rotor which absorbs moisture from air is made heavy to thereby rotate downward from the weight of water while a part of the moisture absorption rotor which is heated by a heater and from which water is evaporated is made light to thereby rotate upward. As a result, the moisture control rotor can rotate by itself without needing a rotary driving source. The moisture control unit has a simplified structure, can be easily miniaturized and installed at a low cost without needing piping.
