Relative humidity also plays an important role in determining just how hot the air feels. Hot air can hold a lot of moisture, which greatly impacts the humidity level of a home. If the humidity level goes above 55%, you may want to consider investing in a dehumidifier to protect your home and protect the health of your loved ones. But, how does a humidifier work?<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, most dehumidifiers work similar to how a vacuum cleaner or air conditioner does. A fan inside the dehumidifier sucks in the air, which passes through an evaporator coil. As the air cools down, the moisture condenses into water, which falls down into a reservoir. The air is then reheated and the dehumidifier siphons it back into the room, while keeping the moisture contained within the unit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Dehumidifiers\"><\/span>Types of Dehumidifiers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know the basics of how a humidifier works, there are two types you should know about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Refrigerant<\/strong> \u2013 This type of humidifier is the one that is most used these days. Damp air is sucked into the dehumidifier and then passes through an evaporator coil. As the air cools down, the water vapor drips down into a reservoir tank.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desiccant<\/strong> \u2013 With this type of dehumidifier, the excess moisture from the air is sucked in to a silica gel, a desiccant material known to absorb moisture. This type of humidifier is perfect for smaller spaces such as closets, kitchens, and bathrooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-do-dehumidifiers-work-1.jpg\" alt=\"How Do Dehumidifiers Work\" width=\"457\" height=\"328\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-do-dehumidifiers-work-1.jpg 457w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-do-dehumidifiers-work-1-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Components_of_a_Dehumidifier\"><\/span>Components of a Dehumidifier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To fully answer the question, &ldquo;How do dehumidifiers work?&rdquo;, you should also know the parts of a dehumidifier.
