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 C- C warmer than room temperature.
