Dehumidifier Definition and 12 Threads

Hello everyone. I would like to experiment with solar air conditioning, wich may work as a massive dehumidifier. I have the idea of making a suspension/solution of Calcium Chloride and / or some sort of Lithium dessicant salt in some sort of oil, run between a solar boiler to evaporate water,on...

Hello, I have a dehumidifier and I keep it in the bathroom (small bathroom), where I can dry my clothes. It has a fast dehumidifying feature for drying clothes and it's working very well in my opinion. I was always bad at physics but I have read on the internet, in the manual that I should keep...

Someone told me about it

The relative humidity readings are: 49% dehu 39% handheld That's when they are placed side-by-side in the same area. Could both be roughly accurate with a small margin of error or could one (or both) just be wildly off?

Hi. I purchased a dehumidifier in order to prevent condensation on aluminum windows in one area of my home. My home is comprised of two spaces: a warm space (20-22°C) and a cold space (<16°C). The door separating these spaces must remain slightly open for several hours of the day/night, so they...

Hi guys! My question is about the heat sinks (cold side) used in some dehumidifiers. It appears that thick, well spaced fins are used, as opposed to a larger number of thin fins, which I would expect to provide better heat transfer. Am I right in assuming that this is to allow space for...

There's a youtube channel where someone nicknamed Thunderf00t is making fun of a water source that is supposed to be a wind-powered dehumidifier. He makes some arguments that don't look entirely valid. He argues that the energy needed is the evaporation heat of water, or some 2000 kJ/kg. In...

I'm working on a project to design Atmospheric Water Generator, to generate 3 litres of water per day. and I'm using the same concept as dehumidifier. My problem is I want to figure out how powerful my compressor should be. I need to calculate that, given a heat flow rate of 352.91 kJ/hour...

I have 2 each 1-1/2 ton refrigeration units for a walk-in freezer. I would like to build a dehumidifation kiln to dry lumber. Each unit would freeze an 8' x 10' freezer to -20 degrees. How hard would it be to use a freezer compressor and condensor as a dehumidifier? How would it work...

Ok, we have all seen it... a build up of condensation inside a car's headlight. I have been looking around and there is not a dehumidifier built specifically to remove this nuisance. I am in the business of restoring automobiles for car dealerships and i think that this would be a great add on...

I did some research on how dehumidifiers work and from what've been able to find out, it takes in room-temperature air, cools it, thus condensation, then runs it back through heated coils so bring the air back to room temperature. I got around to taking apart an actual dehumidifier it's...

I would like to build a dehumidifier. I don't even know where to start. I read that refridgerative coils are use in mechanical dehumidifiers. How should I go about doing this, or is it inviable?
