Desiccant Dehumidifier FAQs

What is a desiccant dehumidifier?

A desiccant dehumidifier removes moisture from the air by using a desiccant material, such as silica gel, which absorbs water vapour. Unlike compressor models, they don’t rely on refrigeration, making them ideal for use in colder climates where temperatures are below 20°C, such as Australian winter conditions.

How do desiccant dehumidifiers work?

Desiccant dehumidifiers use a rotating silica wheel to absorb moisture. Warm air passes through this wheel, collecting moisture which is then heated and expelled as dry air, improving the indoor humidity levels. These units are especially effective in colder environments like basements or garages.

What are the advantages of desiccant dehumidifiers?

Desiccant dehumidifiers are highly effective in cooler temperatures where compressor-based units struggle. They are quieter, lighter, and can also help slightly warm up a room as they release dry, warm air. This makes them ideal for Australian homes in colder regions during winter.

Where can I use a desiccant dehumidifier?

They are best suited for colder areas in Australia, such as basements, garages, and unheated spaces. They are also commonly used in boats, caravans, or even cold rooms where maintaining a low humidity level is essential.

Can desiccant dehumidifiers help prevent mould?

Yes, they help reduce the likelihood of mould growth by maintaining low humidity levels, which are crucial for preventing dampness and mould, particularly in colder, less ventilated spaces prone to moisture accumulation.

Are desiccant dehumidifiers noisy?

Desiccant dehumidifiers are generally quieter than compressor models, making them a good choice for bedrooms or living spaces where noise levels are a concern.

Which desiccant dehumidifier is right for me?

The right model depends on the size of the area you need to dehumidify. For instance, smaller units can handle up to 25 square metres, ideal for bathrooms and small rooms, while larger units are suitable for spaces up to 50 square metres like large bedrooms or living rooms.
