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 be-
tween 40% and 60% relative humidity. Lower relative humid-
ity can be achieved with higher room temperatures. For lower
room temperatures the achievable relative humidity will be on
the higher side, closer to 60%. Therefore, with lower room tem-
peratures, you are recommended to heat the room 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.
