How a Dehumidifier Works
The air is dehumidified by drawing out moisture. It draws in moist air and then passes it over a cold wire to collect any water in a tank or drain hose. The humidity levels are significantly reduced after the water is warmed up and released back into the space. Removing moisture from the air helps prevent mold growth and costly repairs later.
