Lesson 3.4.2

Dehumidification and humidity control

Reducing the water vapour content in the air, the humidity ratio, is essential for effective drying. This is achieved through dehumidification and/or ventilation.

A proper drying system requires a balance between evaporation and dehumidification. When both work in harmony, moisture is removed efficiently and damage risk is minimised. This is done with properly sized dehumidifiers, ensuring moisture doesn’t re-enter materials.
