Some notions on humidity
Air always contains a certain quantity of water in the form of vapour; this determines the degree of humidity in a room. The capacity of air to contain water vapour increases as its temperature increases.
This is why in our homes, as soon as the temperature drops, the air releases the water vapour contained in it, turning into condensation, which appears on all cold surfaces such as windows, walls etc.
The dehumidifier is an electric appliance that extracts humidity from the air, avoiding the damage that it causes. Studies have established that the ideal conditions for our

health and home are achieved when relative humidity is between 40% and 60%.
With very low temperatures, you are recommended to heat the room even minimally.
This will increase the dehumidifying capacity of the appliance considerably.
This is the only way, in fact, to allow the condensation that forms on the windows and other cold surfaces to evaporate into the air and be collected by the dehumidifier.
The air released by the dehumidifier is, however, generally warmer than the air in the room.
