PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means of controlling an adsorbent-bypassing by a first air as target air for dehumidification, and suppressing a reduction in dehumidification efficiency because of a reduction in adsorption efficiency of the adsorbent, while the conventional dehumidifier has possibilities that the first air bypasses and passes through without passing a moisture absorbing region of the adsorbent to reduce the first air flow passing through the moisture absorbing region, to reduce the adsorption efficiency, and to reduce the dehumidification efficiency. SOLUTION: The adsorbent 109 is held in an adsorbent holding means 116 to form an adsorption rotor 117, a partition plate 115 providing an opening 119 for arranging the adsorption rotor 117 is provided so as to divide the first air 102 flowing in the moisture absorbing region 105 and the first air 102 flowing out, and a shield means 16 to control the leakage of the first air 102 from a gap between the outer periphery of the adsorption rotor 117 and the opening 119 is provided, with which the adsorbent-bypassing of the adsorbent 109 by the first air 102 is controlled to increase the adsorption efficiency in the moisture absorbing region 105 and to provide the dehumidifier having a high-dehumidification efficiency.
