SOME NOTIONS ON
HUMIDITY

Air always contains a certain amount of water in
the form of vapour. This determines the level of
humidity in an atmosphere.

The capacity of the air to hold water vapour
increases with temperature.

This is why in our homes, as soon as the
temperature decreases, the vapour contained in
the air condenses, as is evident on the colder
surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls
etc.

The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the
excess moisture from the air, avoiding the
damage caused by condensation.

Experts have established that the optimum
environmental conditions for our well being and
for the home are obtained between 40% and 60%
relative humidity. With very low temperatures,
you are recommended to heat the room even
minimally.

This considerably increases the dehumidifying
power of the appliance.

With heating, the condensation formed by the
water vapour on windows and other cold surfaces
evaporates into the air to be collected by the
dehumidifier. Air leaving the dehumidifier is
usually about 1°C warmer than room
temperature.
