    Abstract: When an outdoor air handler performs a heating humidifying operation and an air conditioner performs a cooling operation, a control device adjusts at least one of a to-be-supplied air temperature of the outdoor air handler, a to-be-supplied air flow rate of the outdoor air handler, a to-be-supplied water flow rate of the outdoor air handler, and a cooling temperature that is a temperature at an air heat exchanger of the air conditioner. The control device adjusts the to-be-supplied air temperature and the cooling temperature on the basis of dehumidification information, operation information, temperature information, and humidity information. The operation information is information regarding an operating state of the air conditioner.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a humidity control apparatus which ensures a sufficient dehumidification amount without increasing an area of a gas-liquid contact portion in a dehumidification unit, regardless of the type of liquid absorbent used. The humidity control apparatus includes an absorbent circuit connecting a liquid-based dehumidification module, a recovery module, and a liquid-cooling heat exchanger which cools, with a refrigerant, a liquid absorbent before being used in the liquid-based dehumidification module. A refrigerant-cooling-based dehumidification module is positioned upstream of the liquid-based dehumidification module in a flow direction of target air, and cools and dehumidifies, with the refrigerant, the target air before being dehumidified in the module. The liquid-cooling heat exchanger and the refrigerant-cooling-based dehumidification module are connected to a single refrigerant circuit together with a liquid-heating heat exchanger.

    Abstract: Provided is an air conditioning system that achieves energy conservation and comfortableness. In the air conditioning system (100), an outdoor-air conditioner (10) sucks outdoor-air (OA) and supplies the outdoor-air as supply air (SA) from an air handling unit (30). An indoor-air conditioner (50) cools or heats indoor-air (IA) that is an air inside a target space (SP) by using an indoor unit (70) and supplies the air to the target space (SP). A general control unit (90) controls performs cooperative load control in which an operating capacity of the outdoor-air conditioner (10) and an operating capacity of the indoor-air conditioner (50) are controlled in cooperation in accordance with a status of the outdoor-air (OA), a status of the indoor-air (IA), an operation status of the outdoor-air conditioner (10), and/or an operation status of the indoor-air conditioner (50).
