AIR DEHUMIDIFICATION
The processes that take place during dehumidification are based on physical laws. We will try
to illustrate them here in a simplified form to give you a general idea of dehumidification
principles.
USE OF DANVEX AIR DEHUMIDIFIER
Despite of windows and doors insulation quality, damp and moisture can penetrate even
through thick concrete walls. It can take 1-2 months for the water used for construction
(concrete works, whitewashing, plasterworks etc.) to dry out.
The moisture that has penetrated masonry following high water or flooding is released very
slowly. One example of moisture-related issues is damping of materials in storage. The
moisture escaping from building elements or materials by evaporation is absorbed by the
ambient air. Thus, this increases the air humidity and ultimately results in corrosion, mould,
rot, peeling of paint coatings and other unwanted damages.
