Just out of interest - laymen's terms.
On boat today, mains elect. Running the machine.
Slightly warm air is blown out back and damp air sucked in front.
I can hear dripping as water collects in container.
Is it a compressor / fridge type of thing .
Or is damp air pulled onto a cold plate that condenses the wster vapour in the air? But that would make the space cold and cold air doesn't hold a lot of water vapour, so it must be a complicated compressor thing do you think?
No. I never leave it running if I am not present.
And... dessicant dehumidifiers... I suppose they somehow decide when to heat the dessicant to re-juvenate it once it has absorbed the water? But how does that work? ...absorb the water and then heat the dessicant turning the solid collected water back into vapour? I can't have that right.
Just musings... in case anyone has time to explain. The thing works so that is the main thing ?
