This lightweight portable Mini Air Dehumidifier helps to prevent build-
up of mould and mildew by removing excessive moisture from the
atmosphere. This dehumidifier is ideal for use around the home, kitchen,
bedroom, garage or basement, as well as caravans or other small areas up
to 5m².
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 prolonged 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 between 1°C to 4°C higher than ambient room temperature.
