SOME NOTIONS ON HUMIDITY
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapour. This determines the level of
humidity in an atmosphere. The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with temperature.
This is why in our homes, as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air
condenses, as is evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc. The
purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, avoiding the damage caused
by condensation.
Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and for the
home are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. With very low temperatures, you are
recommended to heat the room even minimally. This considerably increases the dehumidifying power
of the appliance. With heating, the condensation formed by the water vapour on windows and other
cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected by the dehumidifier. Air leaving the dehumidifier is
usually about 1
℃
-2
℃
warmer than room temperature.
