  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 ...

  4. Humidistat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidistat

    Humidistats are used in a number of devices including dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and microwave ovens.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]

  5. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    The advantage of the heat pump is that it reduces the purchased energy required for building heating; often geothermal source systems also supply domestic hot water. Even in places where fossil fuels provide most electricity, a geothermal system may offset greenhouse gas production since most of the heat is supplied from the surrounding ...

    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.

  7. Humidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidifier

    Spray mist type uses a pipe, usually a small plastic one, to bring water directly to an electrically controlled valve (atomizer-this forces the water through a tiny orifice causing it to break up into tiny particles) in the humidifier. Water mist is sprayed directly into the supply air, and the mist is carried into the premises by the air flow.

  8. Convectant drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convectant_drying

    The system heats and lowers the relative humidity of the air being conditioned. The conditioned air is fed into the target drying area either directly or through ducts. The structure gradually warms up and vapor pressure is lowered - promoting evaporation. Evaporated water increases the relative humidity in the drying area.

  9. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    Backflow prevention device. The simplest, most reliable way to provide backflow prevention is to provide an air gap.An air gap is simply an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system (like a valve or faucet) and any place where contaminated water can collect or pool.
