A dehumidifier, like our Edv 2200 Dehumidifier, will take moisture out of the air by condensing it to a cold surface. Did you ever pour a cold glass of water on a humid, hot summer day? If so, you’ve seen the moisture condense on the glass. This happens because as the air cools, it cannot hold moisture. If you leave your glass on the table long enough, and if air is humid enough, a large puddle of water is going to form. The exact same thing occurs in an AC unit, as the moisture inside the room condenses on the AC’s cold coils. You’ll notice, if it’s a window unit, that water will drip out of the back of the model onto the ground. A dehumidifier is merely an AC unit that has both its cold and hot coils inside the same box. Firstly, a fan will draw the room’s air over the air conditioner’s cold coil to condense the moisture. Second, the dry air will pass through the hot coil in order to heat it back up to its initial temperature.
How to maintain a dehumidifier
If you have a room that is air-conditioned, it shouldn’t need a dehumidifier — the AC ought to be doing the dehumidifying for you. However, if you do not have an AC unit, a dehumidifier is at least a bit of assistance in the heat.
Below are a few tips to keep in mind for keeping your Edv 2200 Dehumidifier in top shape:
- Do not forget to change your filter once per year in order for your machine to run at optimal performance.
- Occasionally clean your water container to avoid build-up of minerals inside the pan.
- Inspect all of the cooling coils for ice build-up or frost, as this may damage the machine.
- Do not short-cycle your cooling system — it means not to immediately turn it off then on again. Wait ten minutes to allow the pressure inside the system to equalize.
- Do not set your humidistat higher than needed, or it’ll constantly run.
Humidity levels too low
If your humidity levels are too low, your hair and skin might feel itchy and dry. The mucous membranes inside your throat and mouth might dry out, too, which boosts your susceptibility to colds and additional illnesses. Buying an Edv 2200 Dehumidifier is the best method for remedying this issue. Portable humidifiers operate by circulating air throughout a wet pad or discharging a mist into the room. You have to add water on a consistent basis. The model may be moved from one room to another as necessary.
