WHY DO I NEED A DEHUMIDIFIER? Experts consider that the optimal level of relative humidity in closed rooms should be below 50%. This prevents the proliferation of bacteria, odors, mites and other elements that generate allergies and respiratory diseases. Using a dehumidifier prevents the formation and development of mold and fungi on the walls, the deterioration of tapestries and promotes the correct conservation of furniture, books and other materials. HOW DOES IT WORK? This product does NOT work with pills or other solutions that must be changed at a certain period of time, maintenance costs being minimal. This product removes humidity from the air by condensing water on a cold surface. This is a principle that we have all experienced. When you enjoy a glass of cold water on a hot day, you could see water droplets forming on the outer walls of the glass. With small differences, to improve efficiency, this is also the principle on which dehumidifiers work. A fan is also used to speed up the process. The air in the room is passed through cold metal coils, thus resulting in water, and the resulting cold air is then passed through hot metal coils, to be brought back to room temperature. Air conditioners work in the same way, but they do not reheat the air before it returns to the room.
