An air dehumidifier for use in small enclosures such as gun and other types of safes is disclosed. The air dehumidifier provides a natural convection dehumidifier circulation system for use in enclosures that reduces natural convection airflow through a drying chamber and thereby dehumidifies and circulates air within the enclosure. Heated air released through the air flow apertures combine with air drawn in through the air intake apertures in the base, to provide air circulation and dehumidification within the safe interior. This invention also provides a drying chamber end cap which prevents articles within the enclosure from blocking the airflow out of the drying chamber.

1. A safe enclosure dehumidifier system comprising: a safe with a floor, a top wall and four side walls defining a safe interior, and with at least one locking door providing access to the safe interior in one of the four walls;a dehumidifier positioned at a lower end within the safe interior, the dehumidifier including:a base with one or more air intake apertures configured for receiving circulating air from the lower end within the safe interior and with an interior air flow conduit, the base including a corner portion configured for placement in a corner or the safe interior;an air conduit stack with a lower end combined with the base and including an interior air flow conduit configured to receive air flow from the base, the air conduit stack combined with the base at the corner portion;an electrical resistance heater mounted within the interior air conduit and configured to heat air within the interior air conduit;an end cap mounted at the top end of the air conduit stack, the end cap providing a plurality of air flow apertures to allow heated air flowing upwardly through the interior air conduit to flow into the safe interior, and further comprising raised upper surface portions defining said plurality of flow apertures, said raised upper surface portions being at an elevationally higher position than others of the raised upper surface portions, thereby providing a varied upper surface; andwherein heated air released through the air flow apertures in the end cap combined with air drawn in through the air intake apertures in the base, provide an air circulation and dehumidification within the safe interior. 2. A safe enclosure dehumidifier system as recited in claim 1, and further wherein the air conduit stack is upwardly tapered with a smaller cross section air flow area at a top end that a lower end.
