With conventional air conditioning,
moisture-laden air is passed over a cooling coil, which causes the moisture to
condense. The air is cooled and some moisture is removed. This compromise of temperature and humidity
control can result in losses to either efficiency or comfort. A desiccant dehumidifier uses special materials (a
desiccant) that “adsorb” rather than condense the moisture from the incoming
air.
NovelAire Technologies’ DD 400-G is a gas fired
desiccant based dehumidifier. It provides
comfort and improved indoor air quality through the control of indoor air relative
humidity.
The unit uses a separate humidistat to control the humidity of your
home independently of the central HVAC system.

The optimum
relative humidity range (see chart)
for health is considered
to be in the 45% to 55% range. Natural gas
humidification and dehumidification systems can add moisture to indoor air during cold,
dry winter months and wring excess moisture from hot, humid indoor air during the summer.
