The air that we breathe has water vapor. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air and having too much or not enough of it can be harmful to both the human body and your home.

This is why people use dehumidifiers to help filter out moisture in the air and improve their home’s indoor air quality.

What Are the Benefits of Desiccant Dehumidifiers

There are two types of dehumidifiers: the refrigerant or compressor dehumidifier, and the desiccant dehumidifier.

The compressor dehumidifier takes out moisture in the room with the help of refrigerated coils, reheating the air to room temperature before blowing it out.

On the other hand, desiccant dehumidifiers absorb moisture using the desiccant, and the rotor inside helps turn the moisture into dry air, which is then blown out.

While the compressor dehumidifier may be more popular with certain consumers, desiccant dehumidifiers are also starting to become a preferred option for some. If you’re considering buying a desiccant humidifier, you can read more at getdehumidifiers.com.

Here are a few benefits of desiccant dehumidifiers:

  1. Lightweight

These portable dehumidifiers weigh about 5 to 9 kilograms on average compared to the compressor that’s about 10 kilograms or above.

That’s about a difference of 5 kilos or more! The desiccant dehumidifier is ideal for people who have trouble lifting heavy objects, making it easier to move the dehumidifier from one place to another.

  1. Quiet

Unlike the compressor dehumidifier, the desiccant dehumidifier does not use compressors or refrigerants, which means it creates less noise. You may want to keep your dehumidifier running, even during the night.

If you’re going to sleep with your dehumidifier on, it’s best to get a dehumidifier that doesn’t make too much noise that could keep you awake.

  1. More Eco-Friendly

The desiccant dehumidifier does not use refrigerants, which has Global Warming Potential (GWP) that contributes to the damage of the ozone layer. Thus, they’re more eco-friendly.

It’s important to take care of the Earth as much as you take care of yourself and your home. If you’re conscious about your carbon footprint, consider a desiccant dehumidifier.

  1. Works Well Even in Low Temperatures

While a desiccant dehumidifier can function well in both warm and cold climates, it works best when the surroundings are cold.

The desiccant dehumidifier remains high-performing even when the temperature drops 1 to 15 degrees Celsius, unlike compressors that work best for high temperatures.

This is because the compressor dehumidifiers’ performance drops along with the temperature change—they need to defrost and stop dehumidifying altogether.

A desiccant dehumidifier still maintains the room temperature and keeps the air dry despite the cold weather.

The warm air that comes out of the dehumidifier can help dry your clothes when you’re unable to hang laundry outside your home. Running a desiccant dehumidifier during cold weather also involves less energy consumption.

  1. Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Odor

Moisture can create a home for bacteria, which can also cause odor. The desiccant dehumidifier’s rotor contains a special coating that absorbs humidity and gets rid of odor and bacteria.

This prevents unnecessary inhalation of unpleasant odors and bacteria that could make you sick.

  1. Prevents Molds

Moist, damp air is an ideal breeding ground for mold. Molds can break down materials and possibly destroy wooden items in your home.

Having a desiccant dehumidifier helps control the humidity in the room, preventing new mold from forming and avoiding further damages to your property.

  1. Help Eliminate Dust Mites

Keeping the air in your home dry can help eliminate dust mites and other allergy triggers. If anyone in the household has had allergy symptoms for a long time, consider getting a desiccant dehumidifier to improve the air quality.

There’s a possibility that symptoms may disappear or lessen once the dehumidifier helps keep the triggers to a minimum.

  1. Longer Lifespan

Due to having fewer moving parts inside it, a desiccant dehumidifier has a considerably longer lifespan compared to a compressor. Their simple mode of operation and lack of a compressor also makes the desiccant humidifier more durable.

Takeaways

Dehumidifiers are essential for controlling the humidity in your home, as too little or too much humidity can cause damage. You can consider going for a compressor dehumidifier, or a desiccant dehumidifier depending on your lifestyle and preference.

Compressor dehumidifiers use refrigerants and are more suited for warm temperatures, while desiccant dehumidifiers absorb moisture like how a silica gel absorbs moisture to keep your shoes dry.

Desiccant dehumidifiers also have many benefits. Aside from being lightweight and quiet, it’s the best option for eco-conscious consumers as they are more eco-friendly. The desiccant dehumidifier is perfect for removing moisture from an unheated area.
