About Humidity
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of water vapour. This is known as humidity. The capacity
of the air to hold water vapour increases with the temperature. This is why in our homes, as soon as the
temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses leaving moisture on the colder surfaces in the
room such as the windows and the walls etc.
The purpose of the dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air to control the condensation in the
home. The optimum environmental conditions for the home are between 40% and 60% Relative Humidity (RH).
Below these levels the air can feel too dry and may cause skin complaints and create static.
If temperatures in the home are below 10°C for prol onged periods, low level heating will be necessary to allow the
condensation to evaporate into the air before dehumidification can take place. The air will however be slightly
warmed by the dehumidifier as the dry air leaving the dehumidifier is about 1°C higher than normal roo m
temperature.
