Can you tell me the room temperature and humidity and the rating and efficiency of the dehumidifier?
You do not require that information as the question was not about a specific dehumidifier ???? I asked what was the amount of heat added by the condensor when the air was blown over it or are you telling me that this varies per unit?How is this controlled ?
If the cooling capacity is for arguments sake 1Kw, then the heat output would be about 1.2Kw. But what it actually is will depend on conditions in the room, size of unit, refrigerant gas used etc etc.
There is no control over it unless there is a vent to get rid of the heat or a remote condensing unit/coil, but you wont get that on a cheap domestic unit.
Obviously based on a compressor driven refrigerant type dehumidifer.

To give a specific answer all the information would be required. But to give a 'general' answer to the question I would say a few 100 watts, based on a small domestic dehumidifier.

Being in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning for the last 24 yrs and running my own firm for the last 8. I am ok with how de humidifiers work thanks. I just enjoyed rattling d
head links chain as it keeps him from posting ste on other threads for 10 mins.

I fixed the quoting for you too.
Pop back over to the salemans thread where you can engage a more captive audience of admirers eh diva
if you had a decent life,job (oh sorry you must be good at b2b sales when you cost $1000 a pop eh!) or simply content with how things are going you wouldnt have to be such a patronising little twerp.
Bye.

Most of the 'salesmen' in the car sales thread probably have no idea quite how much it costs to have them standing in their showrooms. Being a powerful company director you'd know that kind of thing though, wouldn't you?if you had a decent life,job (oh sorry you must be good at b2b sales when you cost $1000 a pop eh!) or simply content with how things are going you wouldnt have to be such a patronising little twerp.

Okay....
Anyway, moving on, I think it's worth pointing out the thing that everyone forgets - the energy used by the dehumidifier doesn't just disappear. It acts as a little heater when it gets warm. It's not totally wasted.
I have/had a little unit I bought for my first flat, which was damp. Worked well, dried all the woodwork out and split the joints etc! Far better than the mould though and my landlady gave me a discount on the rent! Should have used the humidistat to control it, rather that put it on max.
Get one that has a drain point, not just a bucket so you can attach a pipe to a drain and not have to keep emptying it. Mine was an amcor - it suffered from the condenser icing up and water dripping outside of the bucket, so had to live on a tray to catch the drips. Might be better these days.
I said had as it's about to go to the tip. Stopped working after 7 ish years, and think it needs a regas. They don't last forever in other words.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist replying. Just too easy.
Bye.
Diva do you troll as much as possible ? Is it on purpose or is your life so boring you have to get away from it on here and prove something? I have had 2 mails (a first from ph) this afternoon re you and neither were very complimentary Bye.
Get a grip you bellend.

I can only think yoiu are actually trying to get the thread closed. I don't know about the other threads you are referring to, but on this one you have been the aggressor, and in any case, to carry over arguments from over threads is, IMO, bad form.singlecoil said:

As opposed to your valuable contribution to thread eh

As opposed to your valuable contribution to thread eh On a just in case basis, is there something wrong with what I said earlier, did my comment about the recovering the latent heat of evaporation bother you, or maybe it was my advice on how to easily determine whether the OP's house needed dehumidifying or not?

After that I was lost .......
If you insist then yes
I've finally decided to invest in a dehumidifier. Our house is OK in Summer, but now the temperature is dropping and we are drying clothes indoors the windows are permanently damp on the inside. My wife has found mouldy clothes in her wardrobe and the house feels a bit 'soggy' - bed covers aren't crisp for example. Worst is the back bedroom that is shaded most of the time and on the north aspect.
My dad had an old ebac that he is no longer serviceable, so am looking for a cheaper alternative.
Would this fit the bill ?

Yeh that will be fine IMO My dad had an old ebac that he is no longer serviceable, so am looking for a cheaper alternative.
