  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. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    Increasing the barometric pressure raises the dew point. [11] This means that, if the pressure increases, the mass of water vapor per volume unit of air must be reduced in order to maintain the same dew point. For example, consider New York City (33 ft or 10 m elevation) and Denver (5,280 ft or 1,610 m elevation [12]). Because Denver is at a ...

  4. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

    The program features include time schedules, set points, controllers, logic, timers, trend logs, and alarms. The unit controllers typically have analog and digital inputs that allow measurement of the variable (temperature, humidity, or pressure) and analog and digital outputs for control of the transport medium (hot/cold water and/or steam ...

  5. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    This is because the vapor pressure of water increases with temperature—the operative principle behind everything from hair dryers to dehumidifiers. Due to the increasing potential for a higher water vapor partial pressure at higher air temperatures, the water content of air at sea level can get as high as 3% by mass at 30 °C (86 °F ...

  6. Wet-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

    The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.

  7. 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.

  8. Glossary of HVAC terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

    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.

  9. Home appliance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_appliance

    A home appliance, also referred to as a domestic appliance, an electric appliance or a household appliance, [1] is a machine which assists in household functions [2] such as cooking, cleaning and food preservation.
