To provide a dehumidification device with a bacteria-eliminating function capable of suppressing reduction of dehumidification performance accompanying gasifying and discharging of hypochlorite.SOLUTION: A dehumidification device 2 with a bacteria-eliminating function comprises: a dehumidification unit that dehumidifies air distributed at a refrigeration cycle 9 composed of a compressor 9a, a radiator 9b, an expander 9c, and a heat sink 9d; a hypochlorite evaporation unit 11 that adds a hypochlorite gas to the distributed air; a heat exchanger 10 that exchanges heat between air flowing through a first heat exchange path 10a and air flowing through a second heat exchange path 10b, inside thereof; a first dehumidification path 7 through which a first part (first airflow 3a) of air sucked through a suction port 5 is distributed through the heat sink 9d and the first heat exchange path 10a in this order; and a second dehumidification path 8 through which a second part (second airflow 3b) of air sucked through the suction port 5 is distributed through the second heat exchange path 10b and the hypochlorite evaporation unit 11 in this order. The air distributed through the first dehumidification path 7 and the air distributed through the second dehumidification path 8 are blown out through a blow-out port 6.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】次亜塩素酸を気化させて放出することに伴う除湿性能の低下を抑制することが可能な除菌機能付き除湿装置を提供する。【解決手段】除菌機能付き除湿装置２は、圧縮機９ａと放熱器９ｂと膨張器９ｃと吸熱器９ｄとを含んで構成される冷凍サイクル９によって流通する空気を除湿する除湿部と、流通する空気に次亜塩素酸ガスを付加する次亜塩素酸気化部１１と、内部の第一熱交換風路１０ａを流れる空気と第二熱交換風路１０ｂを流れる空気との間で熱交換する熱交換器１０と、吸込口５から吸い込んだ空気の第一部分（第一気流３ａ）が、吸熱器９ｄ、第一熱交換風路１０ａの順に流通する第一除湿経路７と、吸込口５から吸い込んだ空気の第二部分（第二気流３ｂ）が、第二熱交換風路１０ｂ、次亜塩素酸気化部１１の順に流通する第二除湿経路８とを備える。第一除湿経路７を流通した空気と第二除湿経路８を流通した空気とを吹出口６から外部に吹き出す。【選択図】図２
