Do You Really Know The Dehumidification Capacity Of The Dehumidifier?

Nov 29, 2021

When people buy a dehumidifier, they will be exposed to a new name, that is, the dehumidification capacity. The dehumidification capacity is an important parameter of the dehumidifier, which represents the pumping capacity of the dehumidifier. The specific value is the amount of water that can be pumped per unit time, such as How much water is pumped every hour, how much water is pumped every day, etc. Common civilian models use days as the time unit (kg/d), and industrial models use hours as the time unit (kg/h).

Under the same conditions, the greater the dehumidification capacity, the larger the machine. Different types of dehumidifiers have their own dehumidification capacity, and the dehumidification capacity is usually used to represent a machine. As we often say, the machine with a dehumidification capacity of 10kg/hour refers to the model DK-10/S. Therefore, the dehumidification capacity is a very important parameter index of the dehumidifier. However, many consumers do not fully know the amount of dehumidification, thinking that for all brands of dehumidifiers, the greater the value of the dehumidification, the better the dehumidification effect. In theory, this is the case, but an important condition is overlooked, that is, under the same conditions. This is our topic today. What is the real meaning of dehumidification?

This equivalent condition refers to the environmental index for testing the dehumidification capacity. We call it the test condition. Common conditions include a temperature of 30 degrees, a relative humidity of 80% and a temperature of 27 degrees, and a relative humidity of 70%. The real meaning of the dehumidification capacity in the technical parameters of the dehumidifier refers to the weight of the water that can be pumped out for 1 hour or 1 day under a certain constant temperature and humidity condition, such as several liters (kg) per hour, and a few liters per day. Liter (kg). In different working conditions, the actual water that can be pumped out by the same machine is different. The higher the temperature or the higher the humidity, the more water can be pumped out. Therefore, not all dehumidifiers have a larger dehumidification capacity and a better dehumidification effect. The key depends on its test conditions. Especially when we buy dehumidifiers, we compare the dehumidification capacity of different brands of dehumidifiers. We should not only look at the value of the dehumidification capacity, but also look at its test conditions. Some businesses use the test conditions of commercial machines on industrial machines, and even use ultra-low working conditions with a relative humidity of 90%. If consumers are not paying attention, they will be easily deceived by appearances. I bought a fake machine for a big price.

This is why the dehumidifiers on the market with a dehumidification capacity of 7.5kg are not as good as our 7kg machines, and the machines are not as big as ours. That is because their test standard conditions are far lower than our test conditions. The test results under two different working conditions are not comparable. And some businesses will use consumers' ignorance to introduce their greater dehumidification capacity and mislead consumers to make the right choice. In fact, if tested under our strict and regular working conditions, its dehumidification capacity is much lower than 7kg. Those marked with 12kg are also much lower than our 10kg, which is why their dehumidifier prices are low. Their dehumidifier is small so their cost is lower.
