Wood's WCD6HGM
The Wood's WCD6HGM is a very
powerful and sturdy dehumidifier,
suitable for both professional and
domestic use. The WCD6HGM can
be used in many different areas, such
as building sites, basements, laundry
rooms and other large areas.
Workings of your
dehumidifier
The Wood's WCD6HGM is a com-
pressor dehumidifier. As the air is
drawn through the dehumidifier by the
fan, the air passes over the compres-
sor cooled coils. The coils cool down
the water vapour, separating the
water from the air.
The water drips down from the coils
and is drained away with the water
hose. Left is the dry air that is exhau-
sted in the room. As the dehumidifier
condensates the water vapour, heat
energy is released. That is why a
compressor dehumidifier will exhaust
dry air that is extra beneficial for dry-
ing clothes, laundry, wood etc.
A compressor dehumidifier is the most
energy efficient way to remove excess
moist and bad odour. Keep the rela-
tive humidity level between 50% and
60% to maintain a safe and healthy
indoor environment.
