Dehumidification
Every process involving removal of moisture contained in various gas as well as air and making it dry are
called [Dehumidification].
It varies depending on the principle of dehumidification, specific methods(mechanism), and tools used, just
like this, dehumidification by air conditioner or dehumidifier are similar in terms of principles but due to
the difference in specific methods(mechanism), they exhibit different characteristics.
Principles of dehumidification
1. Suck in wet air[moisture]
2. Surface contact with the heat exchanger(evaporator)[Temp ▼]
3. Changed to dews[water bubbles]
4. Surface contact with the heat exchanger(condenser)[Temp ▲]
5. Dry air with no moisture discharged to the outside.
Difference between dehumidification operations of air conditioners and dehumidifiers
| Principle and characteristics of dehumidification | Air conditioner Creates a low temperature dry environment |
Dehumidifier Creates a high temperature dry environment |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Sucks in wet air(moisture) | Indoor unit | Non removable type |
| 2. Surface contact with the heat exchanger(evaporator) (Temp ↓) |
Indoor unit | |
| 3. Changed to dews(water bubbles) | Indoor unit | |
|
4. Surface contact with the heat exchanger(condenser) |
Outdoor unit |
|
| 5. Dry air with no moisture discharged to the outside | Indoor unit |

Characteristics of dehumidification operations of air conditioners and dehumidifiers
[Dehumidifier]
1. Dehumidifier is an integrated type of evaporator and condenser that discharges hot wind as it is.
Air temperature at water supply outlet : In case of 13L(3.4gal) product, it is about 38℃~39℃(100.4°F~102.2°F), In case of 15L(3.9gal), it is about 40℃~41℃(104°F~105.8°F)
[Indoor temperature 27℃(80.6°F), relative humidity 60%. See the lab measurement criteria.]
[If you use other account than summer, wind temperature of the water supply outlet can differ.)
2. During winter or in a location with low indoor humidity, defrosting[dF] can occur.
[Air Conditioner]
1. Since the air conditioner uses higher wind volume and capacity than the dehumidifier, it provides a greater
amount of dehumidification.
Amount of dehumidification by dehumidifier : Drained into a bucket, so if full, it cannot continuously
drain.
Amount of dehumidification by air conditioner : Can connect the drain hose and continuously drain during the
product use time.
2. As cooling and dehumidification take place at the same time, it can be mainly using summer only.
