WHAT DOES DEHUMIDIFIER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

dehumidifier

Dehumidifier

A dehumidifier is generally a household appliance which reduces the level of humidity in the air, usually for health or comfort reasons, or to eliminate musty odour. Excessively humid air can cause mold and mildew to grow inside homes, both of which pose numerous health risks. Humid climates, or humid air within buildings, make some people extremely uncomfortable, causing excessive body perspiration that can't evaporate in the moisture-saturated air. It can also cause body moisture precipitation that can disrupt sleeping, create a situation where the cold pipes in this area begin to drip, and can prevent laundry from drying thoroughly enough to prevent mustiness. Lower humidity is also preferred because it limits the population of most pests, including clothes moths, fleas, cockroaches, woodlice and dust mites. Relative humidity in dwellings is preferably 30 to 50 percent. By their operation, dehumidifiers extract water from the conditioned air. This collected water cannot be used for drinking, so it must be discarded. Some designs, such as the ionic membrane dehumidifier, dispose of excess water in a vapor rather than liquid form.
