How do dehumidifiers work and how do they collect so much water in a seemingly dry room
In: Technology
I’m gonna blow your mind here: Gases can dissolve liquids. Air dissolves a little bit of water into it, which is another way of looking at evaporation. This dissolved water cannot stay dissolved if the air gets cold enough, and when this happens the water forms droplets. This is how rain forms, as well. Now, in a dehumidifier, air is sucked in, cooled down, the water droplets are collected, and then the air is pushed back out. On the way out, the cold air warms up while inside of the machine, and ultimately the room actually gets slightly warmer.
