  2. Dehumidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumidifier

    A typical "portable" dehumidifier can be moved about on built-in casters. A dehumidifier is an air conditioning device which reduces and maintains the level of humidity in the air. [1] This is done usually for health or thermal comfort reasons or to eliminate musty odor and to prevent the growth of mildew by extracting water from the air. It ...

  3. Moisture removal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_removal_efficiency

    DOAS Diagram. Moisture Removal Efficiency (MRE) is a measure of the energy efficiency of any dehumidification process. Moisture removal efficiency is the water vapor removed from air at a defined inlet air temperature and humidity, divided by the total energy consumed by the dehumidification equipment during the same time period, including all fan and pump energy needed to move air and fluids ...

    dehumidifier A dehumidifier is the equipment that extracts and removes humidity from the air. It works by cooling air to the point where water turns to liquid from vapor form and then the liquid is removed. diffuser A diffuser is placed over ductwork, and it separates air with vanes going in differing directions.

  5. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    A humidistat is a humidity-triggered switch, often used to control a humidifier or a dehumidifier. The humidity of an air and water vapor mixture is determined through the use of psychrometric charts if both the dry bulb temperature (T) and the wet bulb temperature (T w) of the mixture are known.

  6. Humidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidifier

    A humidifier is a household appliance or device designed to increase the moisture level in the air within a room or an enclosed space. It achieves this by emitting water droplets or steam into the surrounding air, thereby raising the humidity.

  7. Humidistat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidistat

    In humidifiers and dehumidifiers, the humidistat is used where constant relative humidity conditions need to be maintained such as a refrigerator, greenhouse, or climate-controlled warehouse. [2] When adjusting the controls in these applications the humidistat would be what is being set.

  8. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality .

  9. Dedicated outdoor air system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedicated_outdoor_air_system

    DOAS air handling unit with heat recovery wheel and passive dehumidification. A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) is a type of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system that consists of two parallel systems: a dedicated system for delivering outdoor air ventilation that handles both the latent and sensible loads of conditioning the ventilation air, and a parallel system to handle the ...
