Abstract
A dehumidifier for operation within the 5° C. to 20° C. temperature range and 50 to 100 percent relative humidity range of air includes an evaporator, a condenser, a fan that draws humid air through the evaporator and condenser, and a compressor for pumping refrigerant fluid through both the evaporator and condenser. The evaporation temperature is maintained in the evaporator at least at −4° C., resulting in a temperature within the evaporator and at the outlet thereof being greater than 0° C., thereby preventing the formation of ice in the evaporator and allowing the operation of the evaporator to its full power all the time.
Claims14
A dehumidifier for operation within a 5° C. to 20° C. temperature range and 50 to 100 percent relative humidity range of an air comprising:
- an evaporator having an evaporation temperature maintained at −4° C. or above, resulting in a temperature within the evaporator and at the outlet thereof being greater than 0° C.
A dehumidifier for operation within a 5° C. to 20° C. temperature range and 50 to 100 percent relative humidity range of an air, comprising:
- at least one evaporator, each having at least six (6) rows of tubes and a height that is lower than about 300 mm.
An evaporator for a dehumidifier that operates within a 5° C. to 20° C. temperature range and 50 to 100 percent relative humidity range of an air, the evaporator having an evaporation temperature maintained at −4° C. or above, resulting in a temperature within the evaporator and at the outlet thereof being greater than 0° C.
