Abstract

A dehumidification system for an appliance (18) includes a blower (24) that delivers humid process air (26) along an airflow path (22). A drum (20) is positioned along the airflow path (22). A condensing apparatus (10) dehumidifies the humid air (14) to define dehumidified air. A membrane (16) has a plurality of nanopores (42) that define a portion of the airflow path (22) within the condensing apparatus (10). The humid air (14) is delivered along the membrane (16) having the plurality of nanopores (42) and the nanopores (42) operate through capillary condensation to dehumidify the humid air (14) and separate condensate (12) away from the humid air (14) to define the dehumidified air. The condensate (12) removed by the nanopore membrane (16) is delivered away from the airflow path (22) and to a condensate collection area (44) within the appliance (18).
