HOW IT WORKS

This is a compressor free dehumidifier which operates without refrigerant. It has an
almost consistent rate of water extraction at all temperatures and is more efficient
than compressor based dehumidifiers when used at temperatures below 15°C. The
unit should be located centrally in the home or in the area where there is a major
damp problem.
Damp air from the environment is drawn through the unit where it comes into contact
with a chemically impregnated rotating wheel. The chemical on the wheel removes
the moisture from the air and warmer, drier air is put back into the room. As the
wheel rotates to a different position the heater drives the water from the chemical and
the water is collected in the removable water tank.
As the heater is running continuously within the unit, it heats the air as it dries it, thus
warming the home.
