Whole Home Dehumidification
The Healthy Climate Dehumidifier controls the humidity level in your entire home. A powerful blower inside the dehumidifier
®
draws air into the cabinet where it is filtered before having moisture removed. A sealed refrigeration system removes
moisture by moving the air through a series of tubes and fins that are kept colder than the dew point of the incoming air.
The dew point is the temperature at which moisture in the air will condense, much like what occurs on the outside of a
cold glass on a hot summer day. The condensed moisture drips into the dehumidifier drain pan to a drain tube routed to
the nearest floor drain or condensate pump. After the moisture is removed, the air moves through a second coil where it
is reheated before being sent back into the home. The air leaving the dehumidifier will be warmer and drier than the air
entering the dehumidifier.
You can reduce the amount of humidity that enters the home by closing windows, doors and fireplace flues when outdoor
humidity is high, and by drying clothes outside. Direct exhaust from kitchen vents and bath fans is the best means of
controlling humidity due to cooking and showers/baths. The dehumidifier is not designed to prevent window condensation
in winter. Use ventilation to lower indoor humidity levels in the winter.
