ABSTRACT An apparatus and method for dehumidifying air includes at least one bidirectional duct with at least one port at each end which are regulated by valves. A desiccant containing matrix is disposed within each bidirectional duct. One or more fans are adapted to produce substantially axial air flow in two directions through each bidirectional duct: a first direction during a regeneration phase of the dehumidifying cycle and a second direction during a process phase of the dehumidifying cycle. In the process direction, air from the enclosure enters one end of the duct, passes through the desiccant containing matrix where moisture is adsorbed by the matrix and exits through the opposite end of the duct back to the enclosure. The air is thus at a lower relative humidity when it leaves the apparatus. Upon reversal of the air flow direction, the air is drawn into the duct from a source outside the enclosure, heated by a heater, either before or after entering the duct passed through the desiccant containing matrix where moisture is removed from the matrix and exits into the source of air. The air thus has a higher moisture content when it is exhausted from the apparatus.
