Air Conditioner Humidity Mode

Some benefits of aircon dry mode include.

Air conditioner humidity mode.

Running the air conditioner in dry mode helps as it removes the extra humidity in the air. The fan runs at low speed and compressor is on for short duration in large cycles just to remove extra humidity. If the temperatures are low but the air is humid running an air conditioner in the cool mode will not be of much help. Say your system moves air at around 400 cfm per ton.

Greatly dehumidifying the room. When your air conditioner is in dry mode the device s fan and inner components are running but the unit is not blowing out cold air. Instead air passes through the device humidity condenses on the unit s evaporator and drier air exits the device. In hot humid climates like ours you want your air conditioner to move air at a rate at or near 350 cfm per ton.

For example a window unit that s designed for a small room such as a home office will not function properly in a large master bedroom or great room. In this case the dry mode is useful. Many systems are set up to move air at a rate faster than that. For humidity removal a faster rate is not ideal.

Your air conditioner will be effective at controlling humidity only if it is correctly sized for the amount of work it needs to do. The drier air fills the room or area where the air conditioner is located. Dry mode doesn t really cool the room and the cooling effect comes from the removal of excess moisture from the air.
