dehumidifier

A dehumidifier is a household appliance that reduces the level of humidity in the air. Dehumidifiers usually work by drawing moist air over a refrigerated coil with a small fan. Since the saturation vapor pressure of water decreases with decreasing temperature, the water in the air condenses, and drips into a collecting bucket. The air is then reheated by the warmer side of the refrigeration coil. Most dehumidifiers can be adapted to connect the drip output directly to a drain. Manufacturers may price dehumidifiers differently solely on the size of the collection bucket. There are usually sensors to detect when the collection bucket is full. China is the leading dehumidifier producer of the world.
