Air Conditioning X Dehumidifier

Brasil is a continental extension country and therefore has different types of climate. The relief and action of the air masses also directly influence the temperature, rainfall and humidity of each region. And to deal with this and avoid problems, it is very common to resort to on air conditioner and air dehumidifier. These devices have been in existence for a long time, but many people still do not know what the function each one is and what the differences between them are. It is Worth mentioning that these are important issues precisely to guarantee the desired result whether it is controlling the temperature or controlling the relative humidity of the air.

The Air Conditioning is very well known, at least in urban centers. Manufactured in 1902 to be used in a factory in New York, the air conditioning took a long time to become known. Its production in series began really in 1952, time in which the worldwide market realized of all potential of the equipment.

On the other hand, the air dehumidifier has, a more recent history and many doubts about it still hang in the air. Since 1989, when it was launched by entrepreneurs Zdenko Herbert Kirsner and his wife Cristina Kirsner, the Thermomatic´s Desidrat dehumidifier was writing a breakthrough of success and growth in the Market. The perception of an evolving Market, eager for even more advanced technologies, has made the company a big step. In addition to manufacturing its own equipment, the company also chose to bring made in Asia equipment, which perfectly meet the needs of the Brazilian consumer. Na accurate view of the needs of a growth Market, together with the business competence, today places Thermomatic at the leading edge in the commercialization of dehumidifiers.

How does air conditioning work?

The air conditioner, due to the process by which it performs its function of regulating the temperature or conditioning of the air, ends up “naturally” removing moisture from the air.

Many customers ask us: Does air conditioning replace the air dehumidification function? The answer is NO. You can have both equipment indoor or in the professional environment, but it is important to be clear about the benefits of one and the other. The role of the air conditioning is to lower or increase the temperature, that is, it has a constant effect on it, so that it gives us a feeling of thermal comfort.

The air conditioner ensures the temperature regulation inside the room. The vast majority of appliances on the Market have many additional functions like cooling, heating, air purification and ventilation, which can be regulated through remote controls.

Air conditioners also have the “DEHUMIDIFICATION” function but in this selection the appliance does not have the function of controlling the temperature, it only performs periodic cooling cycles to condense water on the cold plates and to let this water run out. This is designed to be used in the summer, as if the ambient temperature drops, the unit becomes more difficult to condense water in the cooling plates due to the lower temperature difference between plates and air.

During the winter the air conditioning is not usually used and at this time of year the humidity control is even more necessary.

How does dehumidifier work?

The Dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, keeping it at the ideal levels that each environment requires. Increasingly, the need for humidifiers in our daily lives is evident, be at home, at work, in the gym or any other social environment.

They are crucial to maintaining moisture balance, preventing the proliferation of fungi and mites and the appearance of mold, mildew and stench. In Brasil, dehumidifier has name and history – Desidrat from Thermomatic. Moisture is responsible for the emergence of microorganisms such as fungi and mites. Thermomatic Desidrat dehumidifiers are powerful allies in the fight against moisture. Developed within the highest technology, they stand out also for their modern and innovative design. In addition to maintaining the relative humidity of the air within the desirable levels, they free the environment form impurities. If we take a residence as an example, we find that the humidity sometimes makes itself present. The bathroom is one of the places where humidity prevails, especially on colder days when we take hot baths and the steam from the showers becomes a trigger of humidity. As a common result, we have darkened walls and ceilings (depending on the type of construction) and in other cases so-called tile joints and floors. But you are wrong if you think that the bathroom is the only focus of humidity in a residence (whether house or apartment). The other dependencies such as bedroom, closets and pantries are also subject, mainly in regions where the relative humidity of the air is higher.

Silently, moisture through the formation of fungi mainly, can deteriorate pictures, books, walls, doors and even electrical and electronic equipment and cause serious losses.

But, what is the best? The air conditioner or air dehumidifier?

It is possible to have both equipment in your environment, so one complements the other. Having an air conditioner will ensure the temperature regulation you want, and having a dehumidifier will ensure the humidity control at the level you need. Thus, it is possible to guarantee a pleasant and healthy environment for all.

 

Benefits of air dehumidifier: health and welfare

When it eliminates the microorganisms – fungi, mites and bacteria, the dehumidifier is acting for health as the respiratory diseases like asthma and rhinitis are usually triggered by one of these microorganisms. Dehumidifiers, unlike air conditioning, do not change the temperature and play a very important role in improving air conditions. Among the most common respiratory diseases that can be avoided with air dehumidifiers are asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis and the famous allergic rhinitis that every day makes new victims.

The dehumidifier gradually ceases to be seen as luxury, with its real image, a friendly equipment, which acts in the maintenance of health and in the preservation of assets (your home, your office, your company, your gym and ultimately all environments).
