Both dehumidifiers and air conditioners can dehumidify, but these two methods differ in many aspects. So let's take a look together next~
Air conditioning has dehumidification function in two modes.
1. Cooling mode
This is a mode that any air conditioner has, and it is the most basic function of air conditioning. The process of air conditioning refrigeration is inevitably accompanied by dehumidification. The temperature of moist air passing through the air conditioning evaporator will significantly decrease, and the air humidity will be in a supersaturated state. Excess water vapor will precipitate in the form of condensed water and condense on the fins of the evaporator, which is called "condensation". When the refrigeration mode reaches a certain equilibrium state, the air humidity will also drop to a certain level.
2. Independent dehumidification mode
This method is known as constant temperature dehumidification by industry insiders. Its basic principle is to reheat the air cooled by the evaporator to its original temperature, and then send it indoors. This way, the indoor environment remains relatively constant despite a decrease in humidity. There are only two methods for heating the temperature of the air outlet: one is to use electric heating components to heat the air passing through the evaporator. This type of air conditioner is equipped with an electric heating device in the indoor unit. When the air condenses through the evaporator, the electric heating device heats up the cooled air, keeping the temperature of the air outlet and inlet basically the same; Another method is to use the heat generated by the condenser to heat the dehumidified air.
Working principle of dehumidifier.
The working principle of a dehumidifier is simply to use the moisture in the air to condense and frost when entering the evaporator of the dehumidifier, then accumulate and drip out, and discharge into the water outlet, thereby achieving the goal of reducing space humidity. The principle is similar to the dehumidification principle in air conditioning refrigeration mode.
Differences in dehumidification.
1. Dehumidification principle: The principle of air conditioning dehumidification is to use an evaporator to heat the cooled air to its original temperature, and then send it indoors. The working principle of a dehumidifier is through the operation of a fan, which sucks in moist air from the inlet, condenses the moisture in the air through the evaporator, and finally turns it into dry air, which is then discharged from the outlet by the condenser.
2. Usage function: Air conditioning not only has dehumidification function, but also other functions, with strong practicality, but the dehumidification effect is not as good as dehumidifiers. And dehumidifiers are specialized machines for dehumidification, so their functions are relatively single.
Dehumidification effect
Due to the working principle of air conditioning dehumidification, which utilizes refrigeration dehumidification, the dehumidification effect is not significant in a short period of time and consumes more electrical energy. The dehumidifier is a specialized dehumidifier with good dehumidification effect, which can balance the humidity in the air, and the air will not become dry and will not have adverse effects on the human body.
Dehumidification range
Air conditioning dehumidification has a fatal drawback compared to dehumidifiers, which is the issue of range. The position of the air conditioner itself is relatively fixed, and it can only cover a relatively small area during dehumidification. It may only be suitable for small spaces such as bedrooms and not suitable for the dehumidification needs of the entire house. If the dehumidification needs are high, then dehumidification is clearly a better choice.
Service life
During long-term dehumidification operation, the air conditioner not only increases the load on the compressor, but also may affect the lifespan of the entire air conditioner. Therefore, it may not be worth it in terms of use value, and the power consumption of the air conditioner will be much higher than that of a household dehumidifier. To achieve the same dehumidification effect, more expenses need to be paid.
SIAL
SIAL dehumidifier is a multifunctional, high-capacity professional dehumidifier. In terms of product design appearance, it features a high-end design with digital panel control and high-quality casters that are easy to move. Functionally, C50 has a built-in hygrometer, which can monitor the humidity in the air in real time; The water full alarm system can automatically turn off the alarm when the water is full, preventing water from overflowing and causing large areas of moisture. When draining, there are three drainage methods available: water tank, water pump, drainage pipe, etc., and high-quality functions such as removing condensate water through water hoses can be used; It can be started and used at a low temperature of 0 ° C, with a temperature range of 0-35 ° C, and has the function of automatic defrosting with hot air, ensuring that it can operate even in low temperature weather, with a running time of 24 hours.
