INTRODUCTION
Dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural
environments by removing water vapor from the air. With
proper use, the Evolution can help dry carpet, carpet
pad, floors, walls, building contents and more. Using
dehumidifiers can also help prevent secondary damage
caused by high humidity. For best results, use the
Evolution with Dri-Eaz TurboDryer airmovers placed
around the perimeter of the room to distribute heat
energy and release moisture from wet surfaces into the
air.
How the Evolution LGR dehumidifier
works
Dri-Eaz refrigerant dehumidifiers operate by pulling
moist air in across a very cold evaporator coil. The
moisture in the air condenses on the coil and drips into a
catch basin. The water collects in a tray and is pumped
out through a hose. In certain conditions, the machine
operates in defrost mode, warming any frost
accumulated on the evaporator coil back into water. LGR
(Low Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifiers have better heat
exchange and defrost abilities than regular refrigerant
dehumidifiers, and are able to continue removing
moisture in colder and/or drier environments.
