[. . . ] This is due to the fact that cold air is capable of holding less water vapour than warm air. If temperatures in the home are lower than 10°C for prolonged periods low level heating will be necessary to allow the condensate to evaporate into the air before dehumidification can take place. The air will however be slightly warmed by the dehumidifier as the dry air leaving the dehumidifier is about 1°C higher than normal room temperature. 11 ENGLISH Ai r always contains a certain amount of water in the air in the form of water vapour. 5748007000GB 25-02-2003 9:48 Pagina 12 De s c r i p t i o n / A c c e s s o r i e s 1 2 7 Air outlet 6 Air intake 5 3 4 1.
