Dehumidifiers
A dehumidifier draws humidity out of the air. Most dehumidifiers can be broken down into five component parts:
How do all these parts fit together to pull moisture from the air? It's fairly simple, but very effective:
- Fan Compressor: -- This compresses and expands a refrigerant gas like freon to cool the dehumidifier's coils.
- Reheater: This captures and collects heat that the cooling process generates.
- Compressor cooling coils
- Reservoir
How do all these parts fit together to pull moisture from the air? It's fairly simple, but very effective:
- 1. A fan collects air from the surrounding area and pulls it into the dehumidifier.
2. As the air passes through, it comes into contact with the dehumidifier's cooled coils. These coils use condensation to pull moisture from the air. The collected moisture remains on the coils and drips into the dehumidifier's reservoir.
3. The dehumidifier reheats the air and exhausts it back into the room.
