• This dehumidier must not be used in spaces:
- Where there is a high concentration of gases, solvent or any other
volatile organic compounds,
- In very dusty environments; in any domestic, commercial or
industrial environment where air composition is ammable.
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of water vapour.
This is known as humidity. The capacity of the air to hold water vapour
increases with the temperature. This is why in our homes, as soon as the
temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses leaving
moisture on the colder surfaces in the room such as the windows and the
walls etc.
The purpose of the dehumidier is to remove the excess moisture
from the air to control the condensation in the home. The optimum
environmental conditions for the home are between 40% and 60%
Relative Humidity (RH).
Below these levels the air can feel too dry and may cause skin complaints
and create static.
If temperatures in the home are below 10°C for prolonged periods, low
level heating will be necessary to allow the condensation to evaporate
into the air before dehumidication can take place. The air will however be
slightly warmed by the dehumidier as the dry air leaving the dehumidier
is between 1°C to 4°C higher than the ambient room temperature.
This dehumidier can be used to help prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored, or in a basement or similar environment.
