These dehumidifiers work by cooling air to remove moisture. Here's a brief overview:
Operation: Air is drawn into the unit and passed over a cold coil, causing moisture to condense and be collected in a reservoir. The dry air is then reheated and released back into the environment.
Best Use: Effective in environments with higher temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and storage facilities.
These use a desiccant material to absorb moisture from the air. Here's how they function:
Operation: Air is passed over a wheel or bed containing a desiccant material (such as silica gel), which absorbs moisture. The moisture-laden desiccant is then heated in a separate section to remove the water, which is expelled as vapour.
Best Use: Ideal for low-temperature and low-humidity environments, such as cold storage rooms, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other sensitive industrial processes.
