Speaker 1: Stuff from how Stuff Works dot com where smart Happens. Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Marshall Brain with today's question. How does a d
Speaker 1: humidifier work? The basic goal of any d humidifier is
Speaker 1: to remove moisture from the air. With a mechanical d humidifier,
Speaker 1: the usual technique is to condense the moisture onto a
Speaker 1: cold surface. Anyone who has poured a cold glass of
Speaker 1: iced tea on a hot, humid summer day knows that
Speaker 1: moisture will condense on the glass. When eric cools, it
Speaker 1: loses its ability to hold moisture. The moisture in the
Speaker 1: air condenses right onto the glass because it has nowhere
Speaker 1: else to go. If the glass is left on the
Speaker 1: table long enough, and if the air is very humid,
Speaker 1: a significant puddle of water conform, and that's the basis
Speaker 1: of de humidification. You may have noticed the same phenomenon.
Speaker 1: In any air conditioner, the moisture in the air inside
Speaker 1: the room condenses onto the air conditioners cold coils. If
Speaker 1: it's a window unit, the condensed water drips out the
Speaker 1: back of the unit onto the ground. A d humidifier
Speaker 1: is simply an air conditioner that has both it's hot
Speaker 1: and its cold coils in the same box. A fan
Speaker 1: draws the rooms air over the cold coils of the
Speaker 1: air conditioner to condense the moisture, which normally drips into
Speaker 1: a bucket. The dry air then passes through the hot
Speaker 1: coil to heat it back up to its original temperature.
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. If you have a
Speaker 1: room that is air conditioned, it should not need a
Speaker 1: d humidifier. The air conditioners should be doing the de
Speaker 1: humidifying for you. Do you have any ideas or suggestions
