NOTES ON HUMIDITY
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the
form of vapor. This determines the level of humidity in an
atmosphere. The capacity of the air to hold water vapor
increases with temperature. This is why in our homes, as
soon as the temperature decreases, the vapor contained in
the air condenses. This 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 damage caused by condensation.
Experts have established that the optimum environmental
conditions for our well-being and for the home are
between 40% and 60% relative humidity. In low
temperatures, it is recommended to heat the room
minimally. This considerably increases the dehumidifying
power of the appliance. With heating, the condensation
formed by the water vapor 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.
