10SOME NOTIONS ONHUMIDITYAir always contains a certain amount of water inthe form of vapour. This determines the level ofhumidity in an atmosphere.The capacity of the air to hold water vapourincreases with temperature.This is why in our homes, as soon as the tempe-rature decreases, the vapour contained in the aircondenses, as is evident on the colder surfacesin the room, such as the windows, walls etc.The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove theexcess moisture from the air, avoiding the dama-ge caused by condensation.Experts have established that the optimum envi-ronmental conditions for our well being and forthe home are obtained between 40% and 60%relative humidity. With very low temperatures,you are recommended to heat the room evenminimally.This considerably increases the dehumidifyingpower of the appliance.With heating, the condensation formed by thewater vapour on windows and other cold surfa-ces evaporates into the air to be collected by thedehumidifier. Air leaving the dehumidifier isusually about 1°C warmer than room temperatu-re.DESCRIPTION/ACCESSORIES1. Control panel2. Water level viewing window3. Condensate collection tank1635724894.
