As humid air passes over the cooling coil, water vapor is condensed and removed from the air. Air-conditioners, however, do not pass the air through the condenser to reheat it. Air-conditioner condensers dump their heat outside. Desiccant dehumidifier Desiccant dehumidifiers can operate at cooler temperatures than common room dehumidifiers. They are more expensive because the equipment needed to implement desiccant drying is more complex than common dehumidifiers.
Desiccants are materials that readily attract and adsorb moisture.
In a desiccant dehumidifier, humid air is passed through a desiccant. The desiccant adsorbs water vapor, drying the air. When the desiccant is filled with moisture, it is heated to drive off the moisture. The moisture is discarded via an air stream exhausted to the outside. Summary Cleanup and drying is very important after a flood in your home to prevent structural damage and prevent mold growth.
