Abstract
A completely new concept of dehumidification is presented. The
polar nature of the electronic bond structure between oxygen and
hydrogen atoms in a water molecule is utilized to attract them using an
electric field. It is possible to single out and remove the water
molecules from the air inside a room to make the room dehumidified. A
theoretical formulation is developed and a simple experiment was
performed to validate the theory. Unlike the conventional
dehumidification process, this process does not involve any condensation
of the moisture and hence requires a very small amount of power. The
technique can also be very useful for air-conditioning as well
